We provide the wellbeing benefits of access to horses to those who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity. Stepney Bank Stables Equestrian and Activity Club (EAC) is an inner-city project working with horses as part of the team to help young people develop across a broad spectrum of personal and social skills such as resilience, confidence, positive self-esteem and employability skills. The EAC w

elcomes youngsters aged between 8 and 18 to take part in a range of activities such as workshops, tackling issues like bullying, county lines, and healthy relationships, in addition to team building events and excursions. As well as all of this, they also help look after the horses for the British Horse Society approved riding school and help Instructors with lessons. All of the activities are run by a team of well-qualified, enthusiastic equestrian and youth staff who take pride in seeing the club members blossom under their care. The EAC has been recognised multiple times including the Queen’s Jubilee Award. The riding school has a range of well-mannered horses and ponies who work with our superb, qualified instructors to help our customers learn all about how to ride. There are also opportunities to undertake Association of British Riding School and British Horse Society qualifications and some of our young people take part in external competitions.

Next up to share why they volunteer is Olivia!

We caught up with Olivia whilst she was preparing Ginny for a lesson. Olivia volunteers as part of our 12-18’s programme and is also part of our scholarship scheme, which involves taking on additional responsibilities in exchange for additional training towards British Horse Society exams.

🐴 Saddle appeal 🐴

Can you help?

Bella and Ardy need new saddles. None of our current stock is quite the right fit and a comfortable saddle is absolutely essential for horse comfort and rider safety. The amazing team at castlehousesaddlery have been working with us to find a solution and have - incredibly - offered to match any donations up to the value of £1000!!!! So any donation you can spare will be DOUBLED!!!! We know times are tight right now but, if you could spare even just £1 (which will magically become £2) we’d be incredibly grateful.
