Welcome to Wagtail Equine Therapy CIC

We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) in Durham, that helps people to heal, grow, and thrive through the power of horses.

At Wagtail Equine Therapy CIC, we believe everyone should have access to the life-changing benefits of equine-assisted therapy, no matter their background, ability or financial situation. We are here to make that possible for individuals and communities who need it most.

In Their Own Words

"Mollie was so patient and helpful, and the girls learnt a lot on how to care for the ponies and loved the paintiny too! We can't wait for the next event and to spend time with your gentle ponies again!"
Pony & Paint Attendee
"The girls had an absolutely fabulous time and it was so special for them to spend time with your ponies, so thank you! They already can't wait to come back!"

“Such an empowering session with just the simplest of tasks of lead walking a horse. And to have the lovely Desmond show trust in me to keep him safe and to feel him get calmer the more we spent time together. Perfect thing to do after a stressful week, and I’ve had a smile on my face whilst driving all the way home”

“Today I challenged myself to learning a new skill of lunging with the lovely Twirl. After a challenging week in home life with a noisy brain, it was so much fun to try something I’ve never done before in a calm environment. Thank you Mollie for always being so kind, and always making me feel like it’s ok to just feel however I’m feeling that day. Can’t wait to gain more confidence and learn more skills!”

“We attended this afternoon - what an absolutely gorgeous event. Excellent value for money. Lots to do- my children enjoyed the craft sessions and large games. They benefited hugely (as did I) from being around your gorgeous ponies and horses. The grooming was lovely and sitting eating our picnic surrounded by peace and quiet and nature was just lovely. The girl running the session- I'm sorry I missed her name- had such a lovely manner with the children. She interacted well and let children lead the session at their own pace. We will 100% be back and will be recommending these sessions to others.”

“Welcomed by lots of smiles, which always helps! Loved the small group session and opportunity to do some practice. Will certainly be taking something away with me to try with my own ponies as well as booking further sessions”
Equine Demo Attendee
I really felt a connection when grooming the horse and it was almost like a meditation, very therapeutic.
