Fettercairn Youth Horse Project

FYHP has a 20 stable facility and outdoor arena. It operates as a social enterprise and in addition to the programmes provided to our Target Groups, it is open for general horse riding lessons to the public on Saturdays and Sundays.

The Fettercairn Youth Horse Project (FYHP) is a community-owned equine facility in a disadvantaged urban area with a high youth population. Its purpose is to develop the personal, social, equine and vocational skills of these young people and it provides recreational, educational, training and employment opportunities in order to do this.

Services are delivered to a number of groups including local schools and youth groups; children with physical/learning disabilities; young people from socially excluded groups including Travellers. Accredited training programmes are provided for young people who wish to pursue Association of Irish Riding Establishment (AIRE) and British Horse Society (BHS) qualifications.
