Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 29 February 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 29 February 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Pastures New is a recognised charity dedicated to the rehabilitation, retraining and re-homing of retired racehorses, which we have uniquely linked to an Equine Assisted Learning programme for young people called "Horse Power". By adopting this programme we are helping both the horse and the young person at the same time. This concept is groundbreaking and something the charity hopes to advance in the coming years.

Equine Assisted Learning is an innovative process that provides education, training, qualifications and setting standards of excellence for horse welfare, the learners, trainers and other professionals. By promoting excellence in the provision of Equine Assisted Learning we aim to be an exceptional organisation making a valuable contribution to the welfare of the horse as well as the development and welfare of young people and the wider community.

Equine Assisted Learning is an animal assisted hands-on therapy that uses horses as co-facilitators in the learning process. It is unique from other methodologies in that the young person must go to the horse and participate in the horse's environment.

For the emotionally or cognitively disabled young person the philosophy at Equine Assisted Learning provides the challenge of controlling a large living creature which will concentrate the mind and when successfully met, creates a huge sense of pride. The objectives of Equine Assisted Learning is to instil a sense of order and to create understanding of boundaries, improved focus and instil trust activities in the learning process include feeding, tacking, grooming, walking out and riding.

The horses we are looking to retrain, rehabilitate and ultimately re-home all come from the significant number of horses that finish racing every year in the UK. The big question is what to do with the racehorse bought with such promise and at a considerable cost, a real dilemma for owners who care about their horses. Thoroughbred's need to be retrained in the simple practice of riding, learning to bend and balance, getting used to legs down each side whilst wearing a full sized saddle or possibly carrying a weighted rider. The prospects for ex racehorses without this type of retraining can be bleak as their purpose has expired. Our aim is to strive to achieve a useful worthwhile future for every horse, be it as a "happy hacker" or something more benefitting the pedigree of such wonderful animals, until that point they are used as co-facilitators in our Equine Assisted Learning programme. In the right hands, and with the right training, there are no limits to what we hope to achieve for both horse and rider alike.

The Equine Assisted Learning programme is open to a wide range of people who, in a safe and controlled environment benefit from working with our horses. Groups that we are looking to help include children on the autistic spectrum, at risk youths, those disengaged with regular education and those with negative behavioural patterns (this also includes, but is not limited to, eating disorders, self-harming, substance abuse and repeat offenders).

Working in conjunction with Selfsmart we have developed an online evaluation tool measuring individual's well-being and emotional intelligence levels, preferred learning style and resilience.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Voluntary income by way of donations are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Support costs comprise those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature to support them.

Intangible fixed assets
Amortisation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Website - 33% straight line

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.


Improvements to property - 20%/33% straight line

Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment losses, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belongs.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
