THERAPY THROUGH HORSES CIC

Directors' report period ended 30 April 2026

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 30 April 2026

Principal activities of the company

The directors present their report for the year ended April/2026. Therapy Through Horses CIC was established to provide equine-assisted activities and therapeutic opportunities that promote physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing within the local community. During the year, the company remained in its development phase while working to establish the resources and infrastructure required to commence operations. A significant achievement was the securing of 14 acres of land, providing a permanent base from which the company can develop its activities. This represents an important milestone following previous difficulties in securing suitable facilities and will enable the organisation to progress towards full operational delivery. The company has also sourced suitable ponies to support its future programmes and welcomed a new youth volunteer. The directors believe that volunteering opportunities will provide valuable benefits to young people by helping them develop confidence, responsibility, practical skills, and community involvement. Throughout the year, the company engaged with a range of stakeholders, including local residents, volunteers, community members, directors, and local farmers. Feedback received was overwhelmingly positive, with stakeholders recognising the potential benefits the project could bring to the island community through improved wellbeing, social inclusion, education, recreation, and therapeutic engagement. The directors also held discussions with a local farmer regarding opportunities for cross-grazing sheep and horses. This collaborative approach has the potential to support sustainable land management, improve grazing practices, and allow areas of farmland to recover while maintaining productive use. The directors remain committed to developing Therapy Through Horses CIC in a sustainable and responsible manner and are encouraged by the strong support received from the local community. The company is well positioned to begin delivering activities that will provide lasting social, environmental, and community benefits. The directors acknowledge the support and encouragement received from volunteers, stakeholders, and members of the local community during this formative period. On behalf of the Board, --- Director: Anne Marie McPhilemy Date: 17/06/2026

Company activities and impact

During this reporting period, Therapy Through Horses CIC has continued to develop its plans to provide equine-assisted activities and therapeutic opportunities that will benefit individuals, families, and the wider community. A significant milestone has been achieved with the acquisition of 14 acres of land, enabling the organisation to establish a permanent base from which to operate. This follows a number of setbacks and delays in securing suitable facilities. The new site provides the space and stability needed to begin developing services and move the company into its operational phase. The company has also welcomed a new youth volunteer, supporting our commitment to providing volunteering opportunities for young people and encouraging skills development, confidence, and community involvement. Suitable ponies have now been sourced to support the delivery of future activities, including therapeutic horse experiences, educational programmes, and community engagement events. In addition, discussions have taken place with a local farmer regarding a collaborative cross-grazing arrangement between sheep and horses. This partnership will provide mutual benefits by supporting sustainable land management practices, helping to improve pasture quality, and allowing areas of the farmer's land time to recover while maintaining productive use. Therapy Through Horses CIC remains committed to creating positive social impact through the therapeutic and educational benefits of horses, promoting wellbeing, volunteering, environmental stewardship, and stronger community connections.

Consultation with stakeholders

Therapy Through Horses CIC has engaged in discussions with a range of stakeholders, including local residents, community members, volunteers, directors, and local farmers, to assess the potential benefits of the project for the island community. Feedback received has been overwhelmingly positive. Stakeholders recognised the potential for the CIC to provide valuable opportunities for young people, families, and individuals seeking support for their physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing through interaction with horses. The introduction of volunteering opportunities for local youth was particularly welcomed as a means of developing confidence, responsibility, and practical skills. Discussions also highlighted the potential economic and environmental benefits of the project. Local farming stakeholders expressed support for exploring cross-grazing arrangements between sheep and horses, which could contribute to improved land management and allow areas of grazing land time to recover. Stakeholders agreed that the project would add to the range of activities available on the island, promote community wellbeing, encourage social inclusion, and provide opportunities for education, recreation, and therapeutic engagement. Overall, consultation indicated strong community support and a shared belief that Therapy Through Horses CIC will have a positive and lasting impact on the island community.
