What group sizes do you work with?

As small as 1 person and to a maximum of 6 people per Session. If you have a larger group, please get in touch to see how we can accommodate.

What should I bring?

Closed-in shoes, hat or cap, sunscreen, water bottle. (Small bottles of water can be purchased for $1).

Individuals under 18 years old will need to bring a signed liability form. We will also ask permission to take pictures for use on social media.

Do I need to pay up front?

We do ask for an up front deposit, which is not refundable as part of our booking arrangements. The remaining amounts need to be paid by the day of the first workshop.

How do I make payments?

  • NDIS Clients: Self and plan-managed NDIS clients will receive an invoice for payment.
  • Agency-managed clients: As a registered NDIS provider, I have access to claim funds directly through the NDIS portal.
  • Non-NDIS Participants: Schools, teams, groups, and other non-NDIS participants are asked to make payments in advance to secure booking

Do I need experience with horses?

Absolutely not! Our program does not require you to ride a horse, so no prior experience is necessary. We inform every group of the rules and safety precautions to take around the animals and the arena. We always put safety first and we can accommodate everyone’s different comfort levels around the horses.

What if I am scared, or do not like horse?

Do not worry! If you aren’t being pushed out of your comfort zone, you aren’t learning. This is an opportunity to overcome your fears or preconceived notions. Some of the people who have attended our workshops have started out petrified, but by the end of the program, they have all learned more about themselves and overcome their fear.

Do we ride the horses?

No. All of our work is out of the saddle. You will work along side the horses as part of your team for the best and true reaction of the horse and the most beneficial way of learning for you. This way the horse can be it’s true self and not be “on the job”.

What do I wear?

Although chaps and a pair of cowboy boots aren’t required, we do have certain safety requirements when it comes to your clothing. Please wear closed in shoes and comfortable clothing that you are happy to get a little dusty.

Are you certified?

Yes! Edith Rampa was certified through the internationally recognised Certified Equine-Assisted Learning Course at the Academy of Equine Assisted Learning (Based in Canada) a leading organisation in EAL. The Academy of Equine Assisted Learning is the only organisation that offers the BuildingBlock™ Certified Equine-Assisted Learning Program©.

Are you insured?

Yes, we carry extensive insurance for ourselves and those who attend our course.

Is it dangerous?

The horses are selected very carefully – there are no bucking broncos here. You will be 100% safe. We also do safety training to ensure you know everything you need to know.

What if I am allergic to horses?

Knowing is half the battle! Just be sure to take an allergy pill before you come. We learned from participants that the allergy pills will do the trick.
