Wiltshire: Riverside
Riverside
Riverside is a calm and safe space nestled in the Wiltshire countryside. It is a 19-acre site, made up of woodland, stables, paddocks and our outdoor arena. It was purchased by the charity in 2009 and functions as the primary site for equine-assisted therapy, outdoor therapies, and other activities. The site is situated in an area known as The Cleeve, between the villages of Shrewton and Orcheston.
Wildlife
Riverside is currently home to Gul’s 17 ponies, you can find out more about them here, as well as a huge variety of native wildlife such as rabbits, squirrels, foxes, badgers, buzzards, owls. There are interesting native plants such as pyramid orchids, wild garlic and fire mushrooms as well!
The Riverside Team
The Riverside team is led by UKCC Level 2 Riding Coach Mrs Sammy Willis. The team includes Therapists, Coaches, Teachers, Forest School Tutors and equine staff.
