PARKFIELD EQUINE SOLUTIONS

We offer high impact horse-powered interventions for hard to reach participants. Participants usually have multiple problems and live in difficult situations. The method used is a revolutionary approach to mental health/self-regulation with excellent impact evidence. Participants are helped to become calm and focused by learning to communicate with specially trained horses from the ground.

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
