What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Activities We provide both ridden and non-ridden equine activities to our local community. Our participants range in age from 5 years old to 100 years old. We support participants from support units and nurture groups in schools, care homes, supported living centres as well as those who come to us individually. The group provided 844 individual sessions to 100 participants from 1st April 2024 to 31st march 2025. Our ridden activities provide a fun and stimulating experience for our participants. The sessions are planned to meet the needs of each participant with the appropriate level of challenge. At the same time the participants also gain from the therapeutic benefits of being on the horse. We also provide groundwork sessions which are attended by groups from all of our local high schools. During these sessions the pupils learn equine handling skills which help to improve confidence and communication skills and encourage teamwork.

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.
