Stable Lives is a Community Interest Company based at Parbold Equestrian Centre. Born out of personal experience volunteers at Stable Lives recognise the devastating effect that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Mental Health Trauma can have on an individual and their family.

Our location provides a calm, safe place where people can come to mentally rest, relax and reconnect into society and family life. We do this by utilising equine therapy and land based activities to improve confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. The effects of linking those suffering with mental health issues with horses who have been mentally and physically neglected is incredibly emotive. The development of empathy, compassion and understanding between human and horse is both moving and powerful and provides the groundwork for people to start to rebuild their lives on a firm footing of trust and calm considered friendship and relationship building.
