Alternative Provision through Horses, Dogs and Small Animals

Currently we are providing a 16-hour week which is broken down into 4 daily sessions of 4 hours. Each session is desined to allow each participant to gain relevant skills and experience from working in a farm type environmentl.
The course that we are working towards is designed for beginners, so it is not important for the young person to have any experience working with horses, animals or the outdoors, they simply have to show a desire to be in this environment.
It is also not necessary for the young person to learn to ride a horse although this is certainly an option and, in our experience, a big attraction for being on this course.
This project can be made as flexible as possible to suit an individuals’ needs and can adapt the sessions accordingly. We would however recommend that weekly attendance is necessary to ensure good progression and continuity of learning.
