This activity booking is specifically for children with Autism and who are eligible for BACE Holidays
BACE Autism Horse Experience Day is a fun and inclusive holiday day for young people aged 12-16 that have Autism but are able to manage without additional support and will be able to access the day's tasks unaccompanied and feel able to manage in a group with peers without individual support.
Spend the day learning how to care for and train horses and learning how a horse’s mind works. Through working with the horses the young people will improve in confidence, communication skills and teamwork skills.
Join the Strength & Learning Through Horses team to spend a day learning to train horses. Our staff team of horse behaviourists will teach you how a horse thinks, what worries him and what motivates him. You'll use this knowledge to building a relationship of trust with them and train them to undertake a number of fun activities. Activities include:
All the work is from the ground, not ridden.
