Equine Facilitator · Founder

Teri

Founder of EquiDen. 25+ years supporting children, young people and adults — now bringing together that experience and the transformative power of horses.

The Story Behind EquiDen

I have 25+ years of experience working with children of all ages, young people, and older adults across a wide variety of settings. The majority of individuals I have worked with have had Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and/or Social, Emotional and Mental Health challenges — many with Education, Health and Care Plans in place. I have also worked with individuals in palliative care and with those who are terminally ill.

"Horses have always been more than just animals to me; they have been a vital source of healing during my own times of deep stress, grief, and trauma."

Their presence, strength, and gentle nature have inspired me profoundly, fuelling my desire to create something more. This is what led me to establish EquiDen — a sanctuary where I merge my extensive experience with my passion for horses, and the remarkable therapeutic power they hold for humans.

My Approach

My approach is entirely person-centred, rooted in genuine care, nurturing, and heartfelt compassion. I believe in honouring each individual's unique journey and harnessing the extraordinary bond between humans and horses to foster growth, hope, and healing.
