About Us
Hello!
I'm Becca, and I've dedicated over a decade of my life to the equestrian and livestock industry. As an experienced riding and horse care coach, my journey has taken me through various facets of this world, shaping my appreciation for the bond between humans and horses.
With a deep understanding of equine nature and the therapeutic benefits of spending time outdoors, I've made it my mission to help participants from diverse backgrounds access both the mental and physical advantages of connecting with horses.
Skreppa Horses CIC began with a vision fueled by a profound need. I recognized limitations in existing equestrian provisions, where the focus often veered away from connection and understanding the nature of horses. Tailoring programs to meet the unique needs of the individual was a rarity.
My passion for utilizing horses' innate sensitivity to emotions led me to envision a place where children and adults could not only connect with these magnificent animals but also reflect on their own minds and feelings. Through this, we could encourage problem-solving and assist them in overcoming obstacles or trauma.
Skreppa Horses CIC was born, driven by a commitment to bring this transformative service to any person who could benefit, regardless of disability, financial constraints, or so-called 'problem behaviours.'
