mission statement

The Fortune Centre of Riding Therapy's mission is to enable horse-motivated students with special needs to relate more successfully to others and to have greater and more appropriate control over their own lives.

This is done through their involvement with horses. This use of horses, to enable young people to learn and develop, is the core of our work. It is the reason for The Fortune Centre of Riding Therapy's existence and has been the mission since the foundation of the work in 1976. It will remain the mission and our unique offer as a specialist independent provider.
