Kingsmead Equestrian Centre
Offering Horse Riding & Equine Related Programmes
Licence Holder: Mrs Fiona Tothill. Licence Number: RE3 issued by Tandridge District Council
At KEC we have an active
HORSE AWARENESS PROGRAMME
We will share with you our knowledge of the horses and how you can
enjoy a positive relationship with them, whether you are riding or
working with them on the ground.
We encourage people to think about life from the horse’s point
of view and help them understand how horses think and behave.
Reading the horses body language and other non verbal communication
is an important element of our horse awareness sessions.
Gaining some insight into how horses think and feel will have an impact
on your relationships with the horses. Understanding the horses
and being mindful about how we relate to them is important to us
here at Kingsmead.
We can expand on this work with the horses by observing how the
horses respond to us, this is known as Equine Assisted Facilitation.
Kingsmead Horses offer:
-
A fully qualified facilitator who is DBS (formerly CRB) checked
-
A facilitator who is experienced in working with people of all ages and abilities
-
A supportive environment to learn and have fun
-
Public liability insurance

Building RESPECT
During our horse awareness sessions you can learn more about the concept of RESPECT introduced by Fiona, we believe that by working on the following six elements both you are the horses will benefit from an improved connection.
RELAXATION ~ EMPATHY ~ SENSITIVITY ~ POSITIVITY ~ ENGAGEMENT ~ CONNECTIVITY ~ TRUST
