A unique partnership between horses and humans

Co-founders Susie and Jo have both personally experienced the profound emotional impact of time spent with horses in our own lives and wanted to share this experience with others. Tower House Horses grew out of a passionate belief in the power of horses to help bring about meaningful and lasting change. Since 2011 we have witnessed positive changes in the health and wellbeing of over 1000 clients and are proud of the achievements of our wonderful equine partners.

Tower House Horses was established as a Community Interest Company (CIC) in 2012. In January 2019 we became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), with full charitable status (Charity number: 1181441).

We are extremely fortunate to have a board of trustees who take an active role in overseeing the running of the charity. They are: Sue King - Susie Little - Heather McKaig - Jo Simpson - Erin Tollefsen - Richard White
