Steve Brine presented 13 year old Tia Yeates from West End with a certificate to mark the achievement of an NOCN (National Open College Network) Unit, during a visit to Tower House Horses equine assisted learning centre, on Saturday 14th September.
Equine assisted learning is proving beneficial for a broad range of user groups, from young people who find traditional education environments challenging, to adults with substance misuse issues, depression or anxiety. Through guided activities they learn to recognise the impact of their behaviour on the horses, which drives changes in their own internal state. The result is greater calmness, improved confidence and the ability to better manage one's emotions and behaviour.
Susie Little, Director of Tower House Horses, said: "Tia deserves to be very proud. This is the third Unit she has completed using our herd as her teachers, and she has been a star learner."
Steve Brine said: "My visit to Tower House Horses was one of the most powerful I have made. The work Susie and her team do here is inspiring and the results they achieve for clients speak for themselves. I am committed to ensure as wide an audience as possible hears about this facility and understands its potential."
