Established in 2014, we began providing equine assisted learning services, as a way of helping individuals with special educational needs achieve their goals through the interaction with horses and animals.
Equine Assisted Learning is a new and innovative way for children, young people and adults to engage in learning.
Cambridge Equine Assisted Learning Centre provides alternative learning opportunities with sessions happening mostly out of doors with the horses and can cover aspects of the curriculum from literacy and numeracy to history and science.

Learners take part in ground-based activities with the horses, there is no riding.
Sessions run all year round and range from one hour per week through to 12 hours depending on the needs of the individual.
We cater for children and young people who are not taking part in any formal education as well as supporting those who are in school.
Many learners prefer their sessions to be on a one-to-one basis, but we do offer sessions for groups of up to four learners at a time. Each learner has a development plan with objectives that are appropriate and measurable.
Learners spend time with the horses or on horse or animal related activities and can work towards nationally-recognised qualifications. These qualifications have identified learning outcomes which are valued by funding providers such as the Local Education Authority.
We liaise with schools, SENCOs, teachers or other professionals as necessary, providing you with reports about the learner’s progress should you need the
