Spirit of the Horse has chosen Ride High as the official charity for the Spirit of the Horse - Renaissance Tour for 2018. Commenting on the reasons why, Nikki Fossett indicated, “ This charity is special to us because of the amazing opportunity to change and enrich children's lives through the special bond that exists between horse and human. I was honoured to meet and speak with some of the children from Ride High at a recent event in Milton Keynes, it melted my heart, when talking to the children about Ride High. The children's eyes lit up when they were all excitedly telling me all about the pony they rode or groomed. It was amazing to see the passion and happiness that horses brought to the children and how our equestrian friends enriched the lives of these children. Our objective in making Ride High our partner charity is to support this extremely worthy cause and raise the awareness of how Ride High helps to transform the lives of disadvantaged children with help from our beloved Equines.”
Ride High is a charity close to out hearts as we believe strongly in Equine therapy. Horses don't judge by appearance, they look past people and recognise the emotions inside, horses are more than friends or companions, they are mirrors of the soul
All the children face a variety of challenges that make everyday life a struggle. They may be in foster care, a young carer, suicidal or self-harming or a victim of abuse or neglect. Without support they have little chance of a happy future. Ride High offers a unique and innovative approach to engage these children.
Over 80 children attend Ride High every week for up to a year. Spending time with the horses helps them to find their confidence. It provides the children with an opportunity to do something special and to develop a sense of pride as they overcome challenges. In addition the children spend time in the clubroom building their literacy and key social skills. These elements combined drive a positive transformation in the children allowing them to go out into the world and enjoy life.
Since Ride High was founded in 2008 the charity has changed the lives of over 1000 disadvantaged children.
