For more than 5000 years humans have shared a treasured bond with horses. Our relationship with horses has evolved from transportation to companionship and therapy. Horses are unique – they are family oriented and thrive on social interactions; they can communicate, show emotion, and read human emotions. This is what makes them amazing therapy animals.

Equipotential runs several programmes in Hamilton:

  • Disability therapeutic riding
  • Mental health and wellbeing
  • Equine-assisted therapy certification training 
  • Corporate and special events 

​Support is offered to people experiencing disability, mental health concerns, social and emotional challenges. Aiming to enhance confidence, independence and transferable skills and abilities, the programmes work holistically to understand and develop individual strengths and capabilities, to transform people’s lives in a positive way.
