Who We Are
Eat, Sleep, Ride is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) regulated by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR),Scottish Charity number SC053818 based in Lamberton, East Berwickshire, in the Scottish Borders, nestled on the east coast of Scotland just off the A1 and only five miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed.

We empower young people to become catalysts for social and economic change by taking a user-led approach and collaborating with families to create positive pathways forward. Our mission is to enrich lives through equine experiences, fostering personal development, creativity, resilience, and strong community connections.
What We Do

Empowering Youth through Global Expertise: Our programs are designed and facilitated by an internationally accredited team of coaches, delivering world-class services in leadership, equine therapy, and team-building. Young people benefit directly from these experiences, gaining skills, confidence, and support within a safe and expertly managed environment.
Community Support: Providing volunteering opportunities and fostering social integration through hands-on activities and teamwork.
Leadership and Team-Building Excellence: Delivered by our internationally accredited coaching team, our leadership and team-building programs offer transformative experiences that foster collaboration, resilience, and effective communication.

We are equally committed to environmental stewardship, promoting sustainable living, and respecting nature. Our initiatives, such as rewilding and the development of green spaces, not only help nature thrive but also educate our community on ecological responsibility.
Our ethos is rooted in inclusion and diversity. We ensure every voice is heard, offering platforms for individuals to share their stories and find support, thereby fostering a strong sense of community.
