A study at Columbia University of patients with PTSD has found equine-assisted therapy is effective in treating the condition. The team at HorseBack UK have known this & have been proving it for years - as this photo of former racehorse Peopleton Brook with an amputee army veteran shows.

The bond between horses & humans 🐎

An education centre for blind and multi-disabled children has started equine therapy home visits for youngsters who had been missing their sessions due to the lockdown.

This was my vision at a young age as I felt the love of horses ... it has never left me and only gets stronger ❤️
I hope along the way I have also introduced this passion to others and they too have experienced that passion for horses and all animals 🐎🐎

Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA)

❤️

Helen shares her story about how riding helped her get her speech back after a stroke.

Thanks to players of the People's Postcode Lottery RDA has been able to provide life-changing experiences for disabled children and adults. Our network of nearly 500 centres and volunteers are providing opportunities every day of the week.

But we could be doing so much more. With waiting lists at our centres throughout the UK, we need more trained coaches and volunteers, better facilities and access to more horses to help us meet demand. Could you donate today and help get another person off our waiting lists?
