HRA Harwich has a unique ability to teach transferable life and workplace skills to young people who face challenges in formal educational settings. The full ‘yard’ experience allows children to: grow in confidence; measure risks effectively; learn to take responsibility and regulate their emotions while developing communication skills and building positive relationships.

What do our sessions consist of?
Our sessions include stable management, equine theory and horse riding lessons.
The stable management section of our sessions focus on how to care for our ponies and horses. This includes: how to stay safe when working with the animals; mucking out and bedding down stables; feeding and how to groom.
Equine theory lessons help the children learn more about horses in general. This includes: the anatomy of horses; types of behaviour; different colours and breeds; habits and lifestyles of horses.
In the horse riding lessons, children will learn the essential pieces of tack and how to put them on safely. The students will then learn to ride. The content of the riding lessons will vary depending on ability and confidence of the children we are working with. Lessons will be differentiated and planned for each individual pupil.
