All Schools and Youth Projects can approach the EFF for funding.

We offer courses of lessons to youngsters for whom riding may not otherwise be within reach. These courses teach more than just riding; they develop life skills such as self-confidence, responsibility and discipline – and can have a positive impact on academic performance too.

Schools can send groups of 10 or 12 children each week during term-time, for a course of lessons at selected BHS approved riding establishments. These courses cover the care of the animals, as well as riding instruction and an introduction to the variety of competitive sports involving horses. Up to 20 children ride each week with the school changing groups throughout the term. The EFF does not want any child to have to stop riding once they have started so some of the projects now have 2 groups riding each week!

The children experience the fun and freedom of horse riding, and gain a real sense of achievement having mastered the challenge of learning to ride or care for the ponies they meet.

You can apply for funding here:

At SBS, we work with our horse partners to help our young people grow and believe in themselves. Part of this is encouraging them to take on more responsibility and help others who are newer to the stables.

Each year, we identify a number of youngsters who have shown commitment and promise and interest in their own development and train them to be Peer Mentors. They undertake an ASDAN short course in peer mentoring so they are equipped for this role, and then they support others who are a bit anxious or who are less experienced around horses.

We currently have six mentors and a further five are currently being trained in time to help out with the activities during the summer holidays.

The finding we receive from EFF allows us to carry on training new mentos and help them develop their own riding and horsemanship skills.

The following is feedback from a couple of these mentor;
'Being a Mentos has helped me make more friends and gain in confidence around the horses.'

We are delighted to help fund the Stepney Bank Stables Peer Mentoring Scheme

The Foundation is self funding and relies on generous donations as well as fund raising events. The number of projects the EFF funds has risen over the years and now over 40 projects are being funded. In 2022 Emile hopes to raise the profile of the Foundation to help provide more funds and help more children to have this invaluable experience of being with horses. 

Emile is one of the country’s top international dressage riders and trainers and has represented Great Britain at World, European and Olympic level.  He is a list two British Dressage judge.

A wonderful donation of £3000 has been donated by Connie Kang in memory of her dear father who passed earlier this year.


A keen horseman Connie pays tribute to her late father:


" My father was a very kind person, kept himself low key, always willing to help young people pursue their dreams, supporting and participating in all kinds of seminars and team events. My inspiration and mentor...."


Very fitting we feel that his memory will help support our young riders.


Thank you to Connie and her family
