A group of Key Stage 2 children are taking part in weekly horse-riding sessions, with each visit bringing new opportunities to develop confidence, resilience and independence.
During their first visit, the children spent time getting to know the horses, learning how to approach them calmly and safely. They enjoyed stroking and grooming the horses, building trust and becoming more comfortable in their presence.
This week marked an exciting milestone as the children climbed into the saddle for the very first time. With support and encouragement from the instructors, they practised sitting confidently, following simple instructions and experiencing what it felt like to ride. It was wonderful to see the children's confidence grow as they took this important next step and embraced a brand-new challenge.
