About Equine Pathways UK

Equine Pathways UK is a Leeds based equine therapy organisation, offering sessions to children and adults suffering with mental disorders and impairments. Our centre users range from children struggling with bullying, autism and learning difficulties; to adults battling depression and overcoming other stressful illnesses.

We believe that horses are very sensitive and emotionally connected animals, they have the ability to sense our emotions and respond in a very comforting and supportive way. Many of our horses have been rescued from unsuitable living conditions and carefully rehabilitated, this mutual history of hardship helps to form a strong connection between our centre users and the therapy horses, creating a unique bond and helping to build a relationship of confidence, self-esteem and comfort.

Recently, our services have been recognised by 'The Yorkshire Choice Awards', 'The Duke of York Awards' & the Lord Mayor of Leeds, receiving three nominations, the Community Initiative award and recognition of outstanding contribution to the citizens and communities of Leeds.

We do our absolute best to keep everything as private as possible but cannot guarantee complete privacy as some workers, arriving clients etc. could be present during your session. All your information, and everything discussed during your therapy will, of course, be kept strictly confidential.
