Horses bring
people together.
We're here to make sure
everyone belongs.
About Us
At Beside Horses, we believe horses have the power to bring people together, create belonging, and offer calm, confidence and connection — no matter who you are or what you are facing.
Founded by Mollie Sprigg, Beside Horses was created from personal experience and a deep understanding of what it feels like to feel excluded, unseen, or disconnected.
Share Your Story
Stories have the power to connect, inspire and create change.
If horses have had a positive impact on your wellbeing, confidence, recovery, or mental health, we'd love to hear from you. By sharing your experience, you can help others feel less alone and demonstrate the value of the human-horse connection.
Every story helps us build awareness, challenge stigma, and show the real-life impact horses can have.
The Beside Horses
Supporter Programme
Creating a Horse-Centred World Where Everyone Belongs
What Is the Beside Horses Supporter Programme?
The Beside Horses Supporter Programme recognises organisations, professionals and businesses that are committed to creating more welcoming, inclusive and accessible horse-centred environments.
The programme is not an accreditation scheme and does not assess technical compliance with accessibility standards.
Instead, it is a public commitment to the values of belonging, inclusion, awareness and respect.
Supporters recognise that people should not have to hide, explain, justify or overcome their differences before being welcomed into horse-centred spaces.
By joining the programme, supporters become part of a growing movement working towards a horse-centred world where everyone belongs.
Together We Can Reach More People
Beside Horses is building a network of yards, equestrian businesses, centres and horse owners who believe in the positive impact horses can have on wellbeing.
As a Supporter, you'll help us spread awareness, share resources and champion the role horses play in people's lives.
