Join ClinksWe provide effective behaviour change interventions for a variety of populations including the hardest to reach, disengaged and disruptive high risk violent offenders.
Our short intense behaviour-change course uses specially trained horses to provide motivation, feedback and structure. The course focuses on building fundamental emotional and mental skills, developing responsibilities and creating confidence as a learner. Evaluation has been extremely positive, including statistically significant drop in reoffending of 27% points, see http://www.thehorsecourse.org/evidence.
We work within prisons or beyond the gate, as well as with those at risk of offending. We have an HQ in Dorset (SW) and a growing number of trained facilitators spread around the UK. (Currently 10 fully trained and 17 partially trained).
