Jacob's Den CIC

Jacob's Den CIC Not-for-profit equine centre Developing, Enriching and Nurturing wellbeing through horses. All enquires: Val Atkin 07505 351617

We work primarily with SEND/SEMH children and young people in an environment where they can feel safe, valued and respected. Jacob's Den is a new not-for-profit organisation that aims to Develop, Enhance and Nurture wellbeing through horses for children, young people and also those with additional needs or mental health challenges in our community. We follow HETI guidelines for the welfare of all

our horses and most of our horses originally came to us from welfare organisations or have been donated to us from homes where they could no longer be cared for. Our Centre is run by Val Atkin and our volunteers. Val has been an SEND and also mainstream teacher for 30 years. Val has owned horses for over 40 years, has trained with the RDA and is a qualified UKCC Pony Club Coach. All our sessions are non-riding and no experience is necessary. We already run HAF activities for SEND children in the school holidays and we can now open our gates to others in our community. We offer bespoke family/group activities from £15 and also a Saturday morning club runs between 10:30 and 1pm every week which is £15.

❤️❤️❤️❤️Our Gentleman Jim ❤️❤️❤️❤️A quarter of a century and still looking good and continuing to bring so much to so many children (and adults!). Nick- named Jimmy Long Legs as a foal, Jim has truly been one of the most gentle, kind and honest ponies EVER. If we could only bottle the joy he has brought to so many children and young people and then sprinkle it over the world, it would be a happier place. Here is to another 25 years our Jim- Happy birthday today!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much to Verity and Kate for making Jim’s birthday cake. It was definitely a big hit and Jim wolfed down every crumb! It certainly was an energy hit too with all that fruit and oats inside as Jim had the Zoomies when we put him back in his paddock, to the delight of his young pal, Remy. Not bad for 25 our Jim!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you to Ellis from EP Equine Dentistry for the first of this year’s dentist visits. All horses were very well behaved for Ellis although Romeo, always the showman, showed off his beautifully balanced Courbettes 🤣😊

THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME LAST NIGHT!!! Instead of money she left Romeo some low-sugar treats which he of course shared with his friends in his paddock. Many thanks to Tower Equine Veterinary Surgeons and in particular Alice for operating on our Romeo’s tooth at their horse hospital yesterday. We can’t believe how much root it has on it!!! He will be a much happier boy now and the hair will soon grow back on his gorgeous wee face. Thank you so much to Anna Pearson for fetching him home again ❤️🐴
