Events & Workshops

We will be hosting a one-off Children’s Christmas Workshop on Saturday 21st December. We look forward to seeing everyone again and having some fun Christmas themed games.

This workshop will be similar to our previous workshops.

We expect the temperature will be rather cool in December, so please ensure your child is dressed in warm clothing and bring a raincoat/ wellies in case of rain!

Ticket sales will close on Friday 20th December at 1pm, unfortunately we will not be able to accodomate any requests to book after this time.

We are hosting Adults Only mental health sessions with our wonderful horses here at Equine-Connect.

You will have the opportunity to groom and interact with the horses, before taking them on a short stroll around our newly completed track system. Each session will also include light refreshments (tea/coffee/squash) and a tasty treat.

A great opportunity to improve your mental wellbeing, be in nature and the fresh air, and make some new friends.

Starting Sunday 6th October 2024, every Sunday, until 10th November. Between 1pm and 3pm.

Enjoy us as we embrace the adventures autumn brings, along with our wonderful horses and Jax the mule!

These workshops are for children aged 9-16 looking for guidance with their mental health and will give each child the opportunity to meet new friends, get creative, interact with our horses and learn about equine assisted therapy in fun filled afternoon’s.

There is no requirement to attend all the workshops but we feel it would be beneficial to attend as many as possible.

These workshops are provided free of charge as they are fully funded for children with mental health difficulties (some funding paperwork will be required.)

To reserve a space, please complete the contact form on our “Equine Assisted Therapeutic Sessions” page referencing our Autumn Children’s Workshops.

Join us for our fortnightly walks along the Camel trail with some of our horses from Equine-Connect. These guided walks are a perfect opportunity to; meet new people or make new friends, get outdoors/be active, have the space or freedom to talk in an open, welcoming environment and meet spend time with our beautiful horses. Throughout the walks we will be talking to individuals and the group to explore mental well-being and create a positive community for everyone to share- you are welcomed/ encouraged to participate in group or 1-2-1 discussions, but at no point will you be made to talk about anything you do not wish too.

Our Walks will start at Shell Woods carpark we will walk along the Camel trail until we get to the Wenford Bridge carpark, here we will stop for some light refreshments before returning to Shell Woods.

The walk is relatively flat and accessible for everyone. It will take approximately 45 minutes to walk from our start point to the halfway marker. We estimate the entirety of the walk will take approixmately 2 hours.

The cost is per person and includes a refreshment drink and small snack (biscuit/cake/crisps/ fruit etc), the remaining costs are partly funded.

If you would like to join but are anxious about being around horses, please still feel welcomed to join us. There is no requirement for you to interact with the horses, but they are should anyone wish too. Science has proved that many people feel more relaxed and less stressed around animals, so of course we want to include our equine friends.

Please Note; This DOES NOT including any horse riding!
The horses are there for companionship ONLY!

Equine-Connect is first aid trained for both humans and horses.

Over the course of the 4 week workshops we will design a new field shelter for Rosie and Jax, our two smallest equine friends.

The first three workshops (all taking place on a Sunday afternoon) will be focused on designing the new field shelter. The final workshop (taking place on Saturday 30th March) will be an Easter themed afternoon of fun.

There is no requirement to attend all the workshops but we feel it would be beneficial to attend as many as possible.
