Who we are...

Harnessing the Power of Horses to Transform Lives and Build Futures

In the rolling countryside of Lamberton, East Berwickshire, Eat Sleep Ride is more than a place — it’s a living story of connection, resilience, and hope.

As a Scottish charitable company (SC570460) and registered charity (SC053818), we’ve created a space where people and horses come together to rediscover confidence, purpose, and belonging.Our solar-powered sanctuary, just off the A1 and five miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, is built on the belief that growth begins in relationship — with animals, with nature, and with one another.

Every interaction here — a quiet moment with a horse, a shared meal, a conversation in the yard — is a step toward healing and a brighter future.

The Story of Our Environment

The land we care for mirrors our belief in sustainability and renewal. By nurturing it, we inspire others to protect the world that sustains us.

Our work is about rewriting these stories together — creating real pathways to growth, healing, and empowerment for people, horses, and the planet.

Our Mission

To empower young people, families, and communities to overcome challenges and thrive. Through equine-guided experiences, we foster personal growth, creativity, and resilience, while strengthening connection to the natural world and to one another.

“We first went here when we were on holiday in Eyemouth. We had 6 children, all beginners and Dani not only accommodated us but made it the most wonderful and joyful experience. It was so wonderful that we have been travelling from Edinburgh for lessons ever since. It is my son's happy place. Since he has ASD it is so amazing to find a place as special as this where he feels at home.”

“I can relax when I’m not there knowing he’s getting the highest standard of care. Being a baby horse and a first-time owner, I need help from the experts to train him and to improve my own riding. I feel like we’ve both got a wrap-around care package at the yard.”
