Welcome to the home of Muirfield Riding Therapy
In 2019 we celebrated 30 years of service to the community. In 2020 we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our partnership with NHS Lothian, The Children's Therapeutic Riding Service. We offer children and adults of all ages with various disabilities, life-changing riding therapy, free, in a safe and stimulating environment.
There are 7 riding sessions per week, both outdoor and in our wonderful indoor facilities, allowing 120 riders each week to benefit from riding therapy on our specially trained ponies. Our sessions are run entirely by trained volunteers and we are fully self-funded.

Riding Therapy
Find out what makes Riding a great therapeutic activity
Therapeutic riding provides multiple life-changing physical, learning, behavioural and social benefits to riders thanks to the movement, warmth and rhythm of the horse. Our core activities use the three-dimensinal movements of a horse to achieve specific therapeutic outcomes. Specially trained physiotherapists use selected horses as mobile therapeutic treatment tools.
