TARA REID explains how horses can be a wonderful aid for people with emotional or social difficulties, or for anyone who wants an incredible life experience. Sydney Equine Assisted Services was established in October 2019 to share my love of horses with local children, provide equine therapy visits into residential aged care or schools and offer equine assisted learning to people of all ages. In addition to learning about horses, our sessions suit anyone who benefits from an experiential learning environment to develop life skills such as emotional regulation, play, communication and social skills. We run programs for kids, such as Pony Play (one off sessions), Horse Care for Beginners (6-8 week course), Intermediate and Advanced Horse Care (8 week courses) and over summer will be offering Horses and Art holiday programs. Individual sessions for adults are arranged to suit and can include anything from a mindfulness session through to preparing for the EA Introductory Horse Management Certificate. We are in the process of registering for the Active Kids program and with NDIS. Our team has three beautiful equine members: Jasper, the old man of the team is a 19yo grey Arabian cross and is a gentleman who loves attention. Rocky is 14yo and is a miniature spotted pony, perfect for building children’s confidence. Our youngest team member is Chaska, at 9yo, who is a golden Appaloosa and also loves kids and being cared for. All our human team members (Tara, Leonie and Inge) have Working With Children checks and love what they do! We look forward to meeting you and working out how we can help spread the equine love!
