At Team Tutsham, we believe in the transformative power of horses to inspire confidence, connection, and personal growth. As both an ABRS+ Approved Riding School and Equine Assisted Services (EAS) Provider (registered under the HEIR framework), we offer a safe, inclusive environment where learning and wellbeing go hand in hand.
Our Ethos
We exist to empower children, young people, and adults—especially those facing disadvantage or additional needs—through meaningful equine experiences. Our approach is:
• Inclusive: Welcoming all backgrounds and abilities
• Compassionate: Horses are treated as partners, not tools
• Professional: Practice is underpinned by safeguarding, statutory guidance, and therapeutic integrity
• Person-centred: Every session is tailored to the individual’s needs and goals
