Our Mission
We are a passionate not-for-profit organization located on our beautiful site in Sydney, NSW. We take pride in providing equine-assisted activities to people with disabilities. Our dedicated team is committed to helping individuals develop and enhance their physical, social, psychological abilities, and educational progress. Join us as we make a positive impact and create meaningful experiences for all!
Our Impact
We collaborate with our community and dedicated volunteers to empower individuals with disabilities through equine activities to unlock a myriad of incredible benefits. From invigorating mental stimulation to fostering physical strength and control, as well as promoting social integration, enhanced concentration, personal achievement, and overall well-being, our mission is to make a meaningful difference in the lives of each and every individual we serve.
Our Community
Our Centre is lovingly run by dedicated volunteers who selflessly contribute their time and talents in various roles, ranging from horse welfare and activity coordination to maintenance, gardening, administration, and fundraising. We truly appreciate these invaluable contributions, and there are numerous opportunities for individuals to get involved and embrace the joy of learning together!
Christmas Market!
Stop by the Centre and discover our delightful 2023 Christmas Market! You’ll find an abundance of incredible and pocket-friendly gifts for your cherished friends, beloved family members, and even a special treat for yourself! Make a point to visit us on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday mornings before these treasures disappear!
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
