Broadlands Group

Broadlands is one of the few places I see my anxious, autistic, fussy daughter relax and see her feeling good about herself. The coaches and volunteers are amazing at encouraging without any pressure or demands being put on the kids. She has done things here that I wouldn't have thought she could achieve, things other parents would take for granted but throw her into a panic normally, she has gone in the stable with Sam and gone out of sight of me with a volunteer, and on a horse. Amazing calm nurturing place. Thank you all.

Wonderful calm yard with amazing volunteers and ponies!! I've witnessed first hand how much difference equine assisted therapy makes in the lives of children with physical disabilities, scars from traumatic events. It's very therapeutic to volunteer too! The instructors are so friendly and calm, encouraging and supportive. Can only recommend!! Love this place.

I've been volunteering with Broadlands for over 2 years. It's a remarkable place filled with warmth and compassion towards humans and horses alike. The opportunity given to disabled children to experience riding and interaction with horses is invaluable. And it's wonderful to see the change that comes over children who have been locked in their own bodies and brains through illness or disability. It's something quite special.

As a local, I have always heard amazing stories of how much the Medstead RDA Group have helped so many individuals and their families over many years through equine therapy. I am now personally delighted and excited to be joining this group of dedicated people in September 2020 as an assistant administrator and I am very much looking forward to contributing to helping disabled children and adults.

So much good for so many people, largely run by volunteers.
