Here at EST, we aim to provide a very positive form of therapy for the children with special educational needs and disabilities who visit our Centres. To achieve the maximum benefits from the children’s visits for therapy, we now plan to build a Sensory Trail Ride at our Centre in Ivybridge.

Once completed and fully equipped the ride and gardens will provide sensory-rich stimuli of smells, sights, touch, movement and sounds to enhance the children’s therapeutic experience at the Centre.

Many children with special educational needs and disabilities spend a large part of their lives indoors, undergoing long periods of treatment or requiring demanding routines of physical care. This Sensory Trail Ride will enable these children to benefit from additional therapies whilst outdoors surrounded by nature.
