A charity is urging the NHS to fund equine-assisted therapy for children facing emotional and mental health challenges. Horses for Wellbeing in the Cotswolds helps kids build trust and confidence, yet affordability remains a barrier. Charity founder Mariachiara Apruzzese highlights the emotional toll on families as they wait for help. While the NHS has funded similar initiatives, its budget constraints hinder further support. Apruzzese insists alternative therapies like equine support are crucial, where children experience profound changes in behavior and emotional well-being, emphasizing a need for better availability of such programs.
But a spokesperson for the Department of Health said they cannot facilitate a visit at this time.
I really think she knows that I have a lot of things going on and I know that she has a lot of things going on too.
