At Unbridled Solutions, we’re here to guide boys and girls with SEND needs on a journey of emotional growth, using the transformative power of horses and ponies.

Through our unique program, they’ll not only learn to manage their emotions but also discover a sense of purpose and belonging that will last a lifetime.

Children Struggling with overwhelming emotions - anger, sadness, or anxiety...

Does this sound familiar? Your child struggles with overwhelming emotions - anger, sadness, or anxiety often erupting at the worst moments.

You may have tried various therapies, medications, or even different schools, but nothing seems to truly resonate with them.

The frustration of watching them withdraw or act out can be heart-wrenching. They find it hard to connect with peers and often feel isolated, labeled as the “difficult” one.

You’ve searched for alternatives, yearning for a safe space where they can grow, but every option seems to fall short.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

You’re left feeling helpless and unsure, making you wish for a breakthrough that truly helps them.

Children Shift From Withdrawn to Confident

Now, imagine your child stepping into a warm and welcoming environment, surrounded by horses, ponies and caring facilitators.

Over the course of eight weeks, they evolve from feeling overwhelmed to confident and capable.

You'll notice the change in them - a child who once struggled to express their feelings now communicates openly and forms genuine connections.

Your home transforms into a space of laughter and joy, where they feel proud of their achievements and excited about their future.

Meet Our Founder

Mark Wilkinson

" My passion for horses started nearly forty years ago learning to ride at the local equestrian centre.

After years of competing and teaching, a tragic accident turned my world upside down and made me realize that my true calling was to help children like my younger self. It was during this challenging time that I discovered the profound impact of equine-assisted learning on emotional development.

With a deep understanding of SEND needs, I created a program that combines my love of horses with my desire to support boys and girls in their journey.

I know first-hand how powerful this experience can be, and I'm here to share this with your child.

Our program is not just about riding; it’s about creating a safe space for young people to reconnect with themselves and grow emotionally".

Years of Experience Working In SEND Schools
