BHS Changing Lives Through Horses Programme - June update

Article originally posted on Tuesday 4th of June 2024

We welcomed our youngest participant onto the BHS Changing Lives Through Horses (CLTH) programme recently and what a busy bee she has been working towards her Achieve Awards.

We have used various learning techniques to make learning more engaging, fun and interactive.

Our star pony , 'Sassy Sucky', has been at the centre of our activities and what a saint he has been - from being washed from head to toe, to having stickers stuck all over him!

We have also used our drawing and planning skills to plan an obstacle course which we then built with the help of some of our amazing volunteers. Then it was Little Jack’s turn to test out the course and, as always, he was an absolute gentleman in every sense of the word. In the coming weeks we will be riding around the same obstacle course with a few additions made – watch this space!

Activities such as the above help to develop the following key life-skills which are the key aims of the programme: 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, and overall help with personal development.

What is the BHS Changing Lives Through Horses Programme?
The CLTH programme is aimed at children who have become or are at risk of becoming disengaged or excluded from school, have additional needs including social, emotional and mental health needs or those who are home-schooled.

We currently have spaces available for children aged 8-11 years old on our Wednesday afternoon session that takes place from 2pm – 4.30pm. We will have more sessions available soon for those who are aged 12–18 years old.
