‘Equine-assisted learning can be as mainstream as maths or English for neurodivergent children’: charity speaks out ahead of Government's school reforms

05/05/2026

I am currently Studying for the BEF Level 4 Coach and MSc in Professional Practice in Sports Coaching at Gloucester University.

I am conducting a research project into the subject of Parity and Equity in Elite level Dressage competitions for those with disabilities and SEND.

I will be using semi- structured interviews which will run in Microsoft office teams .I aim to gather experiences, feelings and opinions from an Elite athlete perspective.

The data I collect will be completely anonymous and confidential under data protection legislation. Participants are free to skip any question’s that they do not wish to answer or withdraw at any time. The duration of the interview will take approx 35 minutes of your time, if you are a Para or Special Olympics Dressage rider and feel able to contribute then please email me at [email protected]

Many thanks

Mel Tomlinson.
