Ride High
Education provision that harnesses the power of horses
A new Alternative Education Provision (AEP) has launched at Ride High Equestrian Centre in Milton Keynes, off ering young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) a unique opportunity to learn and grow through the therapeutic power of horses. Aim High UK provides an inclusive and supportive environment
for learners aged 14 to 25 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and may struggle in traditional education settings due to SEND, social, emotional or mental health needs, or other challenges. Based at the equestrian centre – also home to the Ride High
children’s charity – Aim High combines practical equine-based learning with academic development, helping students build confi dence, resilience and employable skills. Developed in collaboration with Haddon Training, a leading
provider of equine and animal care education, the programme enables students to work towards Level 1 and 2 Work-Based Horse Care qualifi cations, alongside Functional Skills in Maths and English for those who require additional academic support. Students with EHCPs can enrol on a one-or two-year full-time
course, attending three days a week during a 36-week academic year. Assessment is fl exible and portfolio-based, allowing learners to evidence their progress creatively through photographs, videos and written work rather than formal exams. Frances Murray, Manager of the AEP, said: “Our aim is to provide
students with the opportunity to learn in a supportive and eff ective environment, in a way that suits them best. For those who need a little extra support, we want to help them gain qualifi cations and practical experience - but just as importantly, to develop the life skills that will help them thrive and confi dently navigate their futures.” Open Days will be held on November 13 and 25 and December 9 from 2pm to 4pm and on December 22 from 10am to midday.
Teeing off for a great day T e Ride High Charity Golf Day at the prestigious Woburn Golf Club in October was a spectacular celebration of golf, camaraderie and generosity. Eighteen teams took to the stunning Duke’s Course for a day full of excitement, competition and fun. T e event featured a special Q&A with pro coach Dan Grieve,
who inspired attendees with insights and stories from the world of golf. On-course energy was high with new games, including Beat the Pro challenges and a lively putting competition, keeping players engaged at every hole. T anks to the generosity of participants and supporters, the day
raised enough to fund 10 new children to join Ride High in January - a remarkable achievement that will make a lasting diff erence. T e success of the day was made possible by the support of
sponsors Avery Healthcare, Geoff rey Leaver, Able Plumbing, Brian Currie and Leda, and the team at Woburn Golf Club, who hosted the event so beautifully. With such a fantastic turnout, anticipation is already building for
next year’s Charity Golf Day, with a date for 2026 to be announced soon.
