About this yard

A Barnet-based youth charity with over a decade of experience delivering equine-assisted therapy and alternative education to young people aged 7 to 25. Programmes combine qualified mental health specialists with equine behaviour experts, supporting several hundred young people annually through trauma, anxiety, school avoidance and low self-esteem. The charity moved to a new purpose-built site on Green Belt land in Mays Lane, Barnet, after Barnet Council stepped in when its previous lease was terminated. This is not a public-booking venue: access is through referral (social care, schools, NHS or self-referral via enquiry), not scheduled lessons a member of the public can book directly.
