About Stable Lives

Through personal experience, we understand the mental and emotional pressures that are placed upon children, individuals and their families, this has helped to develop a strong passion to use our horses and the land at PEC to provide respite and support individuals.

The concept is a simple one. We use horses and ponies that we have rehabilitated from exposure to mental and physical trauma to provide a link to individuals or children who may be struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, depression, PTSD etc for whatever reason.

The horses are utilised within courses and respite days and with the support from our experienced team begin to build confidence, self worth and new skill sets for those attending giving new hope and focus for the future.
