THE Evolving Role of Horses in Human Health committee is running a symposium on Tuesday, November 4th at Castle Leslie which will address how Equine Assisted Services can complement existing services and the current pressures in the health, education and justice systems throughout the whole island of Ireland. This follows on from a successful symposium at Clonshire in March 2025.

“Horses and their power to heal and bring joy have always been at the heart of the Castle Leslie Estate,” said Sammy Leslie, founder of the Castle Leslie Trust. “We are excited to support the Evolving Equine collective in their goal to bring equine assisted services to all on both an all-island and local basis, making effective alternative health and wellbeing services more widely available.
