In addition, they offer therapeutic horse riding sessions, which have proven benefits for physical and mental health.

Animal therapy has numerous advantages, and Horse Buddies recognises the importance of this approach. Interacting with friendly animals can help reduce stress, provide a calming effect, alleviate pain, and teach interpersonal skills. Individuals with sensory disabilities may find it easier to communicate with animals, which can encourage future interactions with others. Spending time with animals also promotes social and communication skills, such as empathy and kindness, and offers companionship that helps combat feelings of depression and low self-esteem.

Horse Buddies aims to assist participants in ongoing capacity building, life skill development, and working towards their goals. They prioritise individual preferences and ensure that sessions are tailored to each participant's likes and dislikes. These sessions can encompass various activities, including animal care, cooking, gardening, and hobby farming.
