The HEARD Project

Helping You Be The Best You Can Be!

The HEARD Project offers people the opportunity to progress at their own pace and with the help of animals take that important step into their journey of wellbeing.


We are going on six months into our HEARD Project and can’t believe just how popular this service has become. The HEARD Project provides a safe space for people to explore their personal development without pressure or judgement through volunteering, the areas we are currently supporting but not limited to are Autism, Trauma and Low Confidence/Self Esteem.

The past two years have been very difficult for some people, with many services reducing or stopping altogether, this has made it all the more difficult for some people to ‘get back on track’.

The HEARD Project offers people the opportunity to progress at their own pace and with the help of animals take that important step into their journey of wellbeing.

Given the ongoing success of this project we are working on expanding, this will mean we can support even more people to become the very best version of themselves. 

Remember to check on our website and social media from time to time to keep up with all our news and updates!

Admirable Astro

by Katie's Cradle • 19 Aug, 2019
I came under the ownership of Katie’s Cradle 1 year ago under the external rehoming program. I am a little bit of a worry wort and I stress quite easily and because of this I scare some people. I have been lucky, I didn’t know what it meant being under the ‘protection’ of the charity but recently I found out what that meant. When my adopter could no longer keep me, (I got too stressed and in my panic kicked someone) I went directly under the care of Katie’s Cradle, this means I had been tried in a new home and when it didn’t work out, I go to Katie’s Cradle forever. This means that I won’t get passed from pillar to post, that would only make my stresses worse.

Horse & Human Interaction………

by Katie's Cradle • 08 Jul, 2015
This is a subject that appears to be quite in focus at the minute, with many differing opinions as to the best way for humans to interact with horses. Horses are very large animals and the size of them alone can cause fear in humans which can result in the human feeling the need to be dominant. As we know, anger quite often covers feelings of fear and as horsemen/women if we don’t understand these emotions then our approach to our horsemanship can very easily have an adverse effect.

We have all heard the stories of bottle-fed horses, of how dangerous and uncontrollable they can be, to the extent that they can do someone serious damage. I challenge this……….
