This is good news, equine therapy is now being recognised in the health profession. Things are moving on . We have had psychologists on our Equine Facilitated Learning Diploma and now this in the Observer. I also saw that Doctors in Scotland are prescribing “time out in nature” for various ailments including anxiety and depression. […]
Phobias/fears, anxiety or unwanted feelings holding you back? Phobias/fears and anxiety can be very debilitating and really stop you from doing the things you really want to do in life. If I told you there is a fast, effective way of dealing with these things even via Skype so distance no object, a method whereby […]

Just a bit about our equine facilitated learning workshops. Do you lack confidence? Are you afraid to go out with your friends because you find it difficult to communicate? How about self esteem, could that do with a boost? Communication skills!! Do you feel lacking in this department? How about boundaries, are your boundaries solid […]
Oisin 2 years after he was abandoned. This is how he looked when he arrived here. The vet really didn’t think he would survive. He was full of worms and could barely walk. […]
What a busy week we have had on the equine facilitated learning diploma. Everyone passed with flying colours, they have been imaginative, creative and a joy to work with. Here they are with their diplomas all ready to go out and help lots of people. Good luck all of you with your future ventures. […]
What a great group we have on the EFL diploma training this week. Day 2 has been lots of fun and we certainly all had a few laughs today. Thank you all for participating so fully.
Snow, wind & bitterly cold conditions did not deter these brave ladies from completing the driving taster day. A spicy hot lunch to warm them up and lots of tea to keep them going. Well done ladies, sterling effort. Despite the conditions I do believe everyone enjoyed the day. Hot toddies and early to bed […]
Meet Breeze a new member to our herd. He came to us as an experienced driving pony and is a very beautiful cremello gelding with a gentle soul. It never ceases to amaze me how horses adapt to change. He seems to have made friends with Herbie and Oisin […]
Curious horses meeting the turkeys for the first time yesterday evening. Not quite so brave today. None of them except Saffy will go past them. It begs the question how can something weighing half a ton be afraid of 3 small birds? I think it must be the strange gobble gobble sounds they make. We […]
Saffy cooling down in the heatwave. We put the sprinkler on and she thought it was great to wade in and shower at the same time. This went on for quite some time and then she went and rolled in the sand. Maybe that was to protect her from the sun. A novel idea for […]
So excited to see our honey bees moving into their new home at Horse Haven Uk. They have been living in the back wall of the mobile home for many years and we are so happy they are now deciding to occupy the lovely Warre Bee Hive made by our Son Joe, of Trew Hives. […]
Thank goodness for the watering hole at Horse Haven Uk. What a great way to cool down in this hot weather. We are all having fun. 🙂
Learning with Horses LEARNING WITH HORSES CORPORATE DAYS GROUP SESSIONS INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS Horses can teach us so much about ourselves if we take the time to listen. HORSE WHISPERING is the art of listening in order to form good partnerships. WHY HORSES? Horses communicate through body language and are very clear and honest about their […]
Bob enjoying a jog on the Somerset Levels in the September sunshine.
Had Lee Hughes Equine Dentist here today. Cannot recommend him highly enough. 2 of our horses needed wolf teeth removed and I cannot believe how quickly and efficiently it was done. It was all very calm, no bother from the horses and immediately Lee finished they returned to the bale to eat. Amazing, as if […]
The barefoot horses on a track system went really well here last Sunday. A big thank you to all you lovely people that attended. I think everyone enjoyed the day including the facilitator Garry Hinton who did a grand job and shared some fabulous information. Thank you Garry and thank you Rachel for […]
Our little man rescue foal arrived today after an epic 2 day journey across the sea from Ireland. Not looking his best at the moment but with a lot of love from the Horse Haven Uk team that will soon be changed. Came off the lorry sweet as you like. Put the lead rope on […]
Well it would appear that we are not only a haven for horses but a Bee Haven too. We have had a large colony of honey bees living in the back wall of one of our mobile homes for several years. They have never been a problem and never come into the caravan so because […]
This is Leon, our spirit horse. When Leon came to Horse Haven Uk 4 years ago at almost 3 years of age he was very timid and had never been handled. He is a very lovely boy and everyone that meets him finds him magical. I don’t know what makes him so different to […]
