In Setting up an Equine Assisted Learning Centre, Tricia offers practical advice and guidance for those people who are thinking about setting up their own equine assisted education, training or therapy centre. The information is based on starting a business in England, but the guidance would provide a basis for people in other countries too.
Tricia started her first business venture at the age of 8 and over the last 50 years has set up a number of businesses. She said “Most of the people I meet who are thinking about setting up their own business don’t realise that they already have the skills to do it. It’s as if they need someone to believe in them and give them permission to realise their dreams.”
Tricia is well known for her inspirational teachings, her knowledge and enthusiasm and belief in the idea that learning happens everywhere for everyone! True to form, she does not tell you what to do in this book, but asks questions and suggests exercises to encourage you to think for yourself and identify a solution that is right for you in your own situation. Areas which are covered include:
developing your idea
relevant legislation
business planning
financial planning
marketing.
Jemima Gladwell, owner at Horses for Courses in Devon said "Tricia has been an invaluable source of information, knowledge & inspiration for me in setting up my centre. Her breadth of knowledge & experience can be seen from this very useful book in which she shares her expertise of setting up an Equine Assisted Learning Centre which covers every aspect of such a business"
Another centre owner, Sophie Keene from Cambridge Equine Assisted Learning had this to say. "Tricia helped me achieve my goal of setting up a centre that is recognised and respected by educational organisations and local authorities for its high standards and successful outcomes through the work we do with the horses and learners. I'm now living my dream!"
