Equine Assisted Learning (EAQ) sets and monitors quality standards for its equine assisted learning centres and provides training and qualifications for facilitators and others involved with equine assisted learning. EAQ Approved Centres are based throughout the UK. EAQ Banbury Hill Equine Assisted Learning is a not-for-profit organisation based on a 7 acre site beside an old Roman Hill Fort near Sturminster Newton. There are lots of things to do on the site for people of all ages, from helping with the ponies to digging the vegetable plot or planting seeds in the polytunnel and the greenhouse. EAQ Banbury Hill offers sessions for children, young people and adults. Outdoor activities are available throughout the summer holidays with pony picnics, den-building, outdoor cooking, bonfires, and arts and crafts which all form part of the week-long programme.
