Kingsleigh’s Equine Education Centre is a specialist equine education and therapeutic learning provider based at Kingsleighs Equestrian Centre, on the site of Worcester Riding School Stables in Worcestershire. An ABRS+ Approved Livery Yard and Equine Assisted Services Provider, Kingsleigh’s reflects high standards of welfare, safety, and quality instruction. The Centre is operated by a skilled team with backgrounds in equine care, education, and therapeutic support, creating a structured yet nurturing environment for young people.
At the heart of Kingsleigh’s is its strong therapeutic and inclusive ethos. Their Therapeutic Equine Assisted Learning (TEAL) approach uses interactions with horses and other animals to support emotional well-being, confidence, communication, and personal development. Many learners have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), and programmes are tailored to individual needs. Kingsleigh’s emphasises mutual respect, clear guidance, resilience-building, and positive growth for every learner.
The Centre offers a wide range of accredited educational pathways, including Equine Studies, Horse Care and Management, employability and life-skills programmes, and support for English and maths to Level 2. Learning is hands-on and experience-based, with opportunities for work placements and progression into industry-recognised awards such as Pony Club tests or coaching qualifications. Their approach blends vocational training with meaningful personal development work.
Kingsleigh’s also plays a significant role in the wider community through initiatives such as Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programmes, which introduce children—including those with SEND or from disadvantaged backgrounds—to horses in a safe, structured and enjoyable environment. With its combination of high welfare standards, compassionate education, and therapeutic support, Kingsleigh’s Equine Education Centre stands out as a place where horses help young people learn, thrive, and build brighter futures.
