Sarah kindly came on board as one of Be Centred's Director from the very beginning and with her background of business and HR has guided the development of the business towards one of independent sustainability. She also offers a lived experience of bringing up three boys and the challenges that that brings.
Florence is a 15 year old Irish Sports horse and is the founding member of our herd. Orignally ridden and competed by Cathy, Florence taught her valuable lessons about the power of mind and psychology in sport and also how restorative being with horses could be.
Rosie is a 5 year old British Warmblood Cross and has the sweetest nature of all our horses. She loves a cuddle and is very in tune with people's emotions. As she is still young she loves to play and we are being very careful with her therapy work and not over facing her.
Teddy is a 9 year old miniature shetland pony. Don't be fooled by his short stature - Teddy is definitely the boss and has to come in first before any of the big girls. Teddy is cheeky and loving and has been a great addition to our herd.
Betty is an 8 year old Warmblood cross and is currently on loan with us. Betty has a very strong personality which we have gotten to know in the year that she has been with us. Betty is proving to be an invaluable part of our team here and thoroughly enjoys her work.
Fionn is Florence's foal and is just 7 months old. He has an adorable personality and is very people orientated but he is not participating in any kind of work. Hopefully when he is older he will join part of the therapy team.
Poppy is our 15 year old Border terrier and has a very special place on the team. Poppy has been through everything with us and is the most patient, kind a loving little person. She is always around to offer comfort if needed.
Mollie is a 6 month old Border terrier and is cheeky, playful and full of joy. Mollie is spending more time up the yard but like FIonn we are making sure that she gets to enjoy being a puppy before anything else.
Dylan is the resident mouser, guard cat and fluff ball. He will often stay around for some fuss but is more likely to appear at meal times than any other!
