Eat Sleep Ride: Harnessing the Power of Horses to Transform Lives and Build Futures
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.
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.
The Power of Stories
At Eat Sleep Ride, everything we do is rooted in stories — and the way they change us.
-
The Stories Horses Tell Us: Horses teach trust, patience, and presence — lessons that help us build healthy relationships and inner strength.
-
The Stories of Young People and Families: Each person who arrives brings a unique journey, often marked by hardship. Together, we help them create new chapters filled with confidence and possibility.
-
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.
What We Do
At Eat Sleep Ride, every programme, session, and service begins with one goal — to create opportunities for people and horses to grow together.
Our work is rooted in community, connection, and care for the environment, blending social impact with sustainable enterprise.
Social Impact Programmes
We create inclusive spaces for learning, healing, and belonging — where individuals and families can build confidence, skills, and resilience.
-
Youth Empowerment: Accredited awards, mentoring, and leadership experiences help young people write their own stories of success and discover what they’re capable of.
-
Equine Therapy & Wellbeing: Gentle, horse-guided sessions support emotional regulation, confidence, and recovery from trauma, helping participants reconnect with themselves and others.
-
Family & Community Support: From volunteering to seasonal events, we bring people together across generations, strengthening bonds and creating shared memories.
-
Environmental Stewardship: Our rewilding, gardening, and biofuel projects teach hands-on sustainability and the importance of caring for the land that sustains us all.
Commercial Services
Our charitable work is sustained through a range of professional, ethical equine and community services. Each offering supports our wider mission while providing meaningful experiences for clients and visitors.
-
Riding Lessons & Equine Experiences: From first rides to advanced schooling, every lesson builds trust, balance, and confidence for both horse and rider.
-
Horse Training, Retraining & Sales: We work with empathy and professionalism to help each horse reach its potential, whether starting young or finding a new future.
-
Livery Services: High-quality care and a peaceful environment offer horse owners reassurance that their animals are valued and understood.
-
Leadership & Team-Building Workshops: Through our HERD Dynamics programmes, we guide businesses and organisations to rediscover shared leadership, communication, and trust.
-
Event Space & Gardens: Our yurts, gardens, and outdoor spaces provide a unique, natural venue for workshops, celebrations, and community gatherings — each event supporting our wider social mission.
Why We Do It
The Benefits of Our Work
At Eat Sleep Ride, transformation happens quietly — in the rhythm of a horse’s breath, in a young person’s growing confidence, in a family rediscovering joy together.
Every interaction has the power to heal, connect, and create change.
Through our programmes and experiences, people discover:
-
Personal Transformation: Confidence, emotional growth, and self-awareness through horse-led learning, coaching, and mentorship.
-
Stronger Communities: Programmes and events that bring people together, amplify underrepresented voices, and nurture belonging.
-
Healing & Resilience: Trauma-informed, therapeutic experiences that help individuals navigate life’s challenges with strength and hope.
-
Opportunities for Equestrians: Professional training, retraining, and ethical livery services that create safe, skilled, and compassionate pathways in equestrian careers.
-
Sustainability & Awareness: Hands-on environmental projects that inspire respect, stewardship, and a sense of shared responsibility for the land.
The Stories We’re Writing Together
Our work is grounded in stories — of people, horses, and the land that connects us all.
-
The Stories Horses Tell Us: They teach patience, trust, and how to listen — lessons that build self-awareness and genuine leadership.
-
The Stories of Young People & Families: Many arrive with experiences of isolation, loss, or disadvantage. Together, we help them create new chapters filled with confidence, connection, and hope.
-
The Story of Our Environment: What was once a reclaimed landfill is now an off-grid, solar-powered community hub — proof that regeneration is possible for people and places alike.
Together, these stories form the heartbeat of Eat Sleep Ride — a reminder that healing and growth are always possible when we move forward together.
Join Us
Every journey begins with a single step — or a single ride.
Whether you’re looking to learn, volunteer, collaborate, or contribute, Eat Sleep Ride invites you to be part of our evolving story.
Together, we can build brighter futures for individuals, families, communities — and the world we share.

Join the Herd – Be Part of the Beat
This winter, we’re raising our voices — not just for us, but for the true heart of Eat Sleep Ride: our herd.
These four-legged teachers are the ones who quietly carry the weight of our work. They help young people rebuild trust, find calm, and discover their strength.
This song is a tribute to them — a reminder that to support our community, we must first support the herd. Their breath keeps the heartbeat steady, their presence holds the space, and their care makes connection possible.

Shared Leadership in Action – Learning Exchange at Eat Sleep Ride
At Eat Sleep Ride, we recently hosted a Learning Exchange with Inspiring Alba and Social Enterprise Scotland. Nine incredible women joined us on site to explore shared leadership through the wisdom of horses.
Through grounding in the stables, the “Tide” energy exercise, meditation in the garden, and time with the herd in the field, participants discovered powerful lessons: the importance of authenticity, respecting boundaries, being present in the moment, and recognising when to lead and when to follow.
The horses reminded us that true leadership is not about control, but about connection, rhythm, and trust.

When the Herd Heals – The Untold Strength of Horses in Women’s Empowerment
At Eat Sleep Ride, we believe that empowerment isn’t a slogan — it’s something women must live and feel. That’s why we created Empower Her: an eight-week programme where women step into the field with horses, supported by our team of coaches, to rebuild self-worth, confidence, and belonging.
Horses respond only to truth and presence. They mirror what we bring, offering honest feedback that is both confronting and deeply healing. For women facing poverty, isolation, abuse, or involvement in the justice system, this kind of authentic connection can be life-changing.
This isn’t soft work. It’s the hardest and most transformative work there is. And as the herd heals, so do we.

Andy’s Man Club Visit Eat Sleep Ride
We were delighted to host the lads from Andy’s Man Club for an evening of mindfulness, horses and connection. They explored our gardens, pond and herd, before working with Ben and Frazzel to reflect on grounding, intention and boundaries.
One participant said:“If someone told me I would learn something about myself from horses, I would have laughed – but I did!”
The evening ended with a BBQ, fresh vegetables and plenty of conversation.

From Sluggish to Sharp: How Breakfast Boosts Mental Clarity
At Eat Sleep Ride, we are thrilled to have Emmanuelle Ofori, a Master’s student intern, exploring the link between nutrition and mental clarity. Through her research, we aim to promote healthier eating habits that support young people’s well-being. Start your day right by incorporating whole foods into your morning routine and experience the mental clarity and mood boost that comes with it!
Skipping breakfast might seem harmless, but research shows it plays a crucial role in mental well-being. Poor diet choices, especially highly processed foods high in saturated fats, are linked to cognitive decline, stress, and even depression. A well-balanced breakfast—rich in protein, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats—provides essential nutrients like omega-3s, B vitamins, and iron, all of which support brain function and emotional stability. Start your day right by incorporating whole foods into your morning routine and experience the mental clarity and mood boost that comes with it!
