About us
We offer professional equine assisted psychotherapy/learning, care farming/green care (with sanctuary animals) ecotherapy, corporate training and now Retreats. All of these activities can be incorporated into a bespoke programme for individuals or groups.
Hay Farm Centre was established 9 years ago. It is on the border of South Staffordshire and Shropshire, although easily accessible from the towns, it feels like another world. It is based around a 400 year old listed farmhouse at the end of a long drive offering privacy and tranquillity.
Organisations we have worked with include:
West Midlands Police and Fire Services
Sandwell Children’s Trust
Worcestershire County Council Pathways to Recovery (addictions)
and Every Child Matters
Royal Wolverhampton School
Ruskin Mill Educational Trust (Glasshouse College)
Dudley Social Services​

Our most recent development is to become a Charity. We have always been about the bigger picture and never refused any client. Our horses are rescued from neglect, slaughter or unwanted. We hope that now we can receive funding to improve the centre and reach more groups of people who would not have the chance financially or culturally to access this therapy.

Latest News
We recently attended the Soul Revolution Festival, Weston Park (6th -11th August) bringing six of the therapy herd to be facilitated as healers as Zen Horse.
​
This was momentous! Horses in their most powerful role. We were there for a week, we had planned it over many months and created an environment for them that would be supportive. The horses often stood under the 3 red oak trees (never the fir tree?!) and meditated.
Here people joined them, 'felt the peace' the 'energy transfer' the 'acceptance', 'pure love'. We had many people moved to tears from the power of the horses.
I feel so indebted and overwhelmed by their generosity, healing people with no agenda, doing it naturally.
