The company's objects are: i. To establish , maintain and manage a service for young people throughout the Scottish Borders who , because of the difficulties they are experiencing, could benefit from such a service. ii.

Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We support vulnerable children and young people aged 5 and over. We aim to help them build confidence, resilience and self-esteem, develop positive relationships and life skills, and make positive choices for their future. We provide a safe, supportive and nurturing environment where young people can learn, grow and thrive through Equine Facilitated Wellness (EFW). Working alongside horses, our young people take part in activities such as grooming, horse care, groundwork and, where appropriate, riding. These activities help them develop emotional awareness, communication, trust, responsibility and coping skills. We work with young people individually and in small groups, responding to their individual needs. Referrals come from schools, health and social care professionals, families and other organisations. Our aim is to improve young people's wellbeing, help them overcome barriers and enable them to reach their potential.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
