other initiatives
As we grow the reach of the Foundation we have launched a number of new initiatives, including the Young Eventers Pathway Programme and the Outreach Programme.
Outreach Programme
The Wesko Equestrian Foundation feels strongly about inclusivity and diversity within sport. We recognise that for many there are significant barriers to entering the sport of eventing or progressing within it.
Our Outreach Programme is dedicated to helping improve access to both the top-level of the sport, for example to riders from developing eventing nations, and to those looking to take their first steps into eventing, or equine performance sports
.
Horses for Wellbeing
The equestrian facilities at Windrush in Elksone, owned by the Wesko Equestrian Foundation, are also home to Horses for Wellbeing, a sister charity, dedicated to promoting mental and emotional well-being through equine-facilitated learning.
The programme supports children and young people facing challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and neurodiversity, helping them build confidence, resilience, and connection through menaingful interactions with horses. To find out more visit their website: http://www.horses4wellbeing.org.uk.
