About Us
Our Mission & Values
Maggie's Voice Equestrian Centre is the place for bitless, reward-based therapeutic horsemanship and riding lessons. Nestled at Lili Wen Farm in Llanfabon, we are devoted to nurturing the well-being of both horses and humans. Our mission is to foster a harmonious and respectful bond between individuals and equines, emphasizing trust, understanding, and partnership.
We aim to share the transformative power of therapeutic horsemanship and riding lessons far and wide by welcoming you, let’s create moments of joy, connection, and growth with our incredible horses.
What We Offer
Riding & Horsemanship Lesson
Individual - £45
Shared - £40 each
At Maggie's Voice Equestrian Centre, our lessons focus on building a meaningful relationship with horses, which we believe is the foundation of effective riding. Each lesson is a blend of riding and horse care, providing a holistic approach to learning. In addition to riding, you'll spend time getting to know your horse on the ground, practicing liberty, grooming, and learning about horse behavior and tacking up.
We aim to offer a comprehensive understanding of horses, not just focusing on riding skills. Our approach is not about training Olympians but about fostering a love for horses and helping our clients develop a strong connection with their equine partners. Whether your lessons are relaxed and enjoyment-focused or more technical, we tailor our approach to meet the needs of both the rider and the horse.
We would be delighted to welcome you to our centre and invite you to learn with us and our wonderful herd of horses.
Non-Ridden Therapeutic Horsemanship Sessions
Individual - £40
Non-ridden therapeutic horsemanship uses ground-based activities with horses to support personal growth, emotional well-being, and skill development. Open to people of all abilities, these sessions are a safe, judgment-free space for learning and connection.
Horses respond to feelings, not appearances or abilities, helping participants feel accepted and valued. Working with such large animals builds confidence, while learning to communicate clearly with them improves interpersonal skills. Horses also mirror emotions, offering instant feedback that helps participants recognize and manage their feelings.
Activities like grooming, leading, obstacle courses, and mindfulness exercises build trust, problem-solving skills, and emotional regulation. These sessions benefit kids and teens by improving resilience, adults by relieving stress and fostering growth, and individuals with special needs by providing a supportive space for self-expression.
The lessons learned through therapeutic horsemanship go beyond the barn, creating meaningful and lasting impacts.
