Hannah Morgan is a therapeutic riding coach in Festina Lente, Co Wicklow

‘A lot of kids are stuck sitting down at school all day and it doesn’t work for them. It just doesn’t’I started riding aged eight. I never had my own horses, but I got so much benefit from helping out at stables as a child. I went to university and studied Spanish and French and went on to do law, but I quickly found out it wasn’t for me. I was living in the city and wasn’t getting the benefit of being outside with the horses and I noticed a decline in my wellbeing.

At 19, I rebelled and moved to Ireland thinking music was not my future’A lot of kids are stuck sitting down at school all day and it doesn’t work for them. It just doesn’t. They come out almost vibrating because they have been sitting for so long. We are ready for them. We have kids on the autism spectrum who might struggle with waiting and impulse control. We have clients with mental health challenges. Trying something new can be really challenging.

Horses are prey animals, so they are hyper-vigilant. They are continuously reading our behaviour – how we approach them, our subtle movements. Obviously the horses are non-speaking, and some of our clients are non-verbal, and it’s almost like there is a common ground there.
