EQUAL-ARK

EQUAL is a charity with IPC status that offers horse-based therapy to youth, persons with special needs, families and the elderly with clinical depression and dementia.

Known as equine-assisted learning, it is a pedagogy that is well-established in Europe, North America and Oceania. Through activities in our farm-like setting located off Thomson Road, our clients develop social-emotional skills such as managing impulsivity, persistence, empathy, self-awareness, confidence and resilience under the guidance of our instructors. Unlike other forms of counselling or therapy, our clients develop these skills through experiential learning in a unique, outdoors and non-clinical setting.
