Hush Farms of Branscombe, East Devon, is a training specialist and thanks to two new partnerships it is now delivering Equine Assisted Learning courses (some people call it horse whispering) in Richmond Park, to blue-chip clients of one of the biggest training companies in the country.

Hush Farms is well known for providing land based training, including chainsaw operation, spraying, trailer driving, animal carrying etc.

It is also a respected leader in the field of Equine Assisted Learning, where people learn to behave and communicate differently, as a result of working with horses.

Hush has cemented a relationship with Operation Centaur, an organisation promoting the relevance of the horse as a contemporary working animal in partnership with humans. Operation Centaur’s horses carry out logging and conservation work in the Royal Parks of London. The stable is based deep within Richmond Park and is not open to the public.

The second partnership is with Hemsley Fraser, one of the world’s top 20 leadership training providers. It has a reputation for delivering training that is innovative and effective, so a partnership with Hush is a perfect match.

From this summer Hush Farms will be able to deliver equine training, with Operation Centaur’s horses, in London and to Hemsley Fraser’s clients. The exclusive location within the Park is a great benefit to London-based workers, who can now benefit from a tranquil training environment without leaving the city.

It’s not all about London. Hush Farms will also offer residential Equine Assisted Learning programmes at their peaceful base in Devon, so the new relationships they have made will also benefit the local economy.
