🐴🧠 ADHD and horse riding: a connection worth exploring?

What does spending time with horses mean for women with ADHD?

New research from Hartpury University explores a topic that deserves more attention, raising questions for riders, coaches and the wider equestrian community. 💚

Animalweb expert Emma Davies led the study alongside Grace Peters, and we’re hoping to welcome Emma soon to tell us more. 👀

We have space become available for Equine Facilitated Therapy 🐴 These are for adults and older teens, and will be on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at The Cotton Farm just outside Bangor.

Equine therapy is really helpful for:

🐴 Regulating the nervous system, offering relaxation and calming

🐴 Reducing anxiety and depression

🐴 Improving feelings of connectedness

🐴 Working through difficult past experiences

🐴 Building self esteem and resilience

🐴 Helping with over thinking and perfectionist tendencies

🐴 Relationship challenges

We can also work with a parent and teen together which can be really amazing, to support better mutual understanding, respect, and communication.

Equine therapy sessions cost £50 for a teen or adult, or £65 for parent teen sessions. Ideally you would attend for 6 sessions at minimum, but many people chose to attend much longer due the benefits they experience.

Please go to our website and complete the referral form under "Therapy" and put in the comments box that you would like Equine therapy.

Spaces are limited.

AUthenTISM is a new respite programme for neurodivergent children aged three to twelve with special educational needs

‘Equine-assisted learning can be as mainstream as maths or English for neurodivergent children’: charity speaks out ahead of Government's school reforms

03/05/2026

Some children walk out of school smiling…
and fall apart the moment they get home.

It can feel confusing, exhausting, even personal.
But this isn’t bad behaviour — it’s release.

All day long, your child has been holding it together.
Following rules, managing noise, navigating friendships, masking feelings.

By the time they reach their safe place — you —
their nervous system can’t hold any more.

What looks like a sudden outburst is often
a full day of stress finally spilling over.

When we understand what’s underneath,
we can respond with connection instead of correction.

If this resonates, you’re not alone — and your child isn’t trying to make things hard.
They’re showing you where they feel safest.
