Southwell Equine Assisted Learning

About

At Southwell Equine Assisted Learning, we provide a unique and nurturing environment for children and young people who find traditional education challenging. Our equine-based alternative provision focuses on helping learners reconnect with themselves through structured interactions with horses. By fostering relationships and hands-on learning, we empower students to rediscover their confidence and emotional balance, leading to life-changing outcomes.

We understand that not every learner thrives in a conventional classroom setting. Our program is designed to be practical and meaningful, offering emotional wellbeing support and personal development through engaging, 'hands-on' activities. Each session is tailored to individual learning goals, ensuring that every participant can progress at their own pace while developing essential life skills.

Our approach is particularly beneficial for those who may be struggling in mainstream education, facing anxiety, or experiencing low self-esteem. We work closely with schools, local authorities, and families to create a supportive, trauma-informed environment where young people can flourish. Our sessions promote emotional regulation, communication skills, and relationship building, all while encouraging learners to take on new challenges and responsibilities.

At Southwell Equine Assisted Learning, we believe in building more than just skills; we aim to foster a sense of self-worth and independence in every learner. If you're a school, professional, or parent seeking a supportive alternative provision, we invite you to reach out and discover how we can help.
