Connection. Authenticity. Professionalism.
Based in Lincoln, Hope Meadows is a not-for-profit organisation bringing together horses and humans in an environment of warmth and belonging, for better mental health, wellbeing, and development.
​
We are open to all. No referral, diagnosis, or previous horse experience is needed.
​
Our core services for individuals are Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, the Connected Equine Programme, and Alternative Provision.
​
Alongside this, we offer supervision, training, and CPD for professionals, as well as support for leaders and their teams.
​
Our team consists of qualified counsellors, therapists, teachers, and instructors, who between them have substantial professional training and experience in their areas of interest. ​
​​
Working alongside our wonderful herd, we create a safe, professional space to support your mental health and personal development.

Hope Meadows CIC
Services
If you or your child needs mental health support, our qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. We work with a wide range of difficulties such as anxiety, stress, depression, eating disorders, and relationship difficulties.
Connected Equine is a rewards-based programme incorporating groundwork and riding. Clients learn to care for, and work with, horses in a way that is ethical and connection-focused. These are not riding lessons and are designed for clients who hope to learn a new way of relating to horses.
Our Alternative Provision offers therapeutic education for children and young people who are not in full time mainstream education. We offer a range of equine-based certificates and awards, supporting young people to re-engage with learning at their own pace.
Senses Through The Seasons
Six months… Six sessions… One small group and our herd going through the turning of the seasons together.
​
On Tuesdays at 5.45pm, from 28th April through to 22nd September, Emma is running our “Senses through the Seasons” bespoke wellbeing sessions for adults.
​
The group (no more than 6 people) will meet once a month and use each session to focus on one of the senses, check in with the horses, explore what each season is asking of us, and find ways to take that back into our everyday lives.
​
If you’re looking for something grounded to anchor your wellbeing practice through the next six months, here it is.
