7 to 25 years

Rein and Shine helps children and young people to connect to their communities through working with horses. They specialise in supporting children and young people who may be disengaged with education, those with additional special educational needs and those with Tier 4 support needs that may benefit from access to an alternative provision pathway.

The alternative provision service is based within an equine setting and works with children and young people to help them transition back into a school or college environment or to help prepare them for entering the world of work.

The staff that work at Rein and Shine are all qualified and experienced BHS Accredited Professional Coaches, while children and young people will also access support from specialist high and complex need teachers.

The programme makes links to the National Curriculum but focuses on promoting holistic development, to build relationships, communication, confidence, responsibility, teamwork and perseverance.

Outdoor learning, with the therapeutic benefit of horses, helps to create an environment in which children and young people can learn. The pathway is bespoke and can be fully adapted to suit the needs and interests of the child and young person.

Rein and Shine can offer British Horse Society Grooms Pathway qualifications, as well as Personal Development qualifications. Some young people have even gone on to take up apprenticeships with Rein and Shine.

Individuals can attend from age 8 to a post-16 pathway. Some children and young people attend once a week, others multiple days per week. There is minimum attendance of a term but individuals can use the service for as long as required. Sessions can be delivered on a 1:1 basis, 1:2 basis or in a small group.
