Muirfield Riding Therapy
Muirfield Riding Therapy welcomes people of all ages with a wide range of disabilities and conditions, physical, mental, emotional and behavioural. Our service is free, to ensure it’s accessible to all who need it. We make it a fun experience for all involved, and offer an opportunity to make new memories.
We are a volunteer-led Centre, providing equine assisted therapy, which is ridden or non-ridden activities with horses to improve our participants’ physical and mental health. We are one of the largest, dedicated RDA Centres in Scotland and are based in East Lothian.
Our equine assisted therapy sessions are held both outdoor and in our wonderful indoor facilities, allowing around 100 participants each week to benefit from therapy with our specially trained ponies. Our sessions are run by trained volunteers and we rely entirely on fundraising to cover our annual costs and ensure our service remains free-of-charge.
" I have Multiple Sclerosis and I took a really bad relapse. I woke up one morning and couldn’t move at all. My physio used to volunteer here and she said to me one morning, 'What would you think about going to ride a horse?' I said, 'You’re joking?!' She wasn't! "
