Time with the horses.
Our equine-assisted programme is open to anyone who needs to take a breath, whether you're dealing with anxiety, or just need a moment to slow down.
2026 marks five years of running this programme for young adults in the Wairarapa, and we honestly couldn't be prouder.
We've watched over 80 young adults come through it, gain confidence, and learn to breathe again, and every single one of them has left something behind with us too. None of this would have been possible without the community around us, the volunteers who've shown up week after week, and of course, our horses, who do the real work of holding space for people when they need it most.
We've been quietly working to make this programme open to the public. It'll be a fee-based programme this time round, our first, as we bring a new therapist on board to help.
If that sounds like something you or someone you know could use, just get in touch and let us know, we'd love to have you.
Grounding & calm
Quiet, present time with gentle animals in a peaceful outdoor setting.
Led by the horses
Our horses set the pace, intuitive, honest company that meets you where you are.
The space
Sessions takes place around the orchard, our dedicated calm arena, stables and/or wash bay set apart from the rest of the world. The moment you step in, everything slows down.
Beautiful moments
Come and meet the horses.
