The Equichance Team
The Equichance team is made up of trustworthy horses and their human counterparts.
We look forward to welcoming you to our centre.
Meet first the Equiteam
Nikita
The doyenne. Kind, caring and deeply protective of her herd and her place in it. She is in charge and therefore placid and very rooted.
Izzy
Unusually close to humans as her mother died in giving birth and she was bottle fed. She is beautiful inside and out and is deeply sensitive with a strong desire to help.
Nimrod
A new recruit who joined the team in December 2023. Nimrod is a pure Irish cob, who are well known for their calmness and solidity and an important reminder and connection with our own Irish ancestry.
Indigo
A new recruit who joined the team in December 2023. Indigo is a Kentucky Mountain Horse – he is perfect for the project as he is strong, sturdy, easy to handle and unflappable.
Machta
Daughter of Nikita, born into the family, she’s a sweet member of the horse family.
Zulu
Stolen from the herd when he was 10 months old, Zulu has been returned after a protracted legal and physical battle! Born to Pimienta, one of our founding horses who has since passed, Zulu carries a calming yet strong energy. Born in the family, he has a close connection with humans.
Nessie
Youngest and newest recruit, Nessie is learning quicky from the others.
Our human support team
The operational team consists of Yannique as equitherapist, supported by Ashley as equicoach, and Sabine as facilitator. We have other people who are keen to be involved with the project on a voluntary basis but the team will remain small until we are fully up and running.
