Who We Are
Welcome to Eat, Sleep, Ride: Harnessing the Power of Horses to Transform Lives and Build Futures
In the countryside of Lamberton, East Berwickshire, Eat, Sleep, Ride is more than a place—it’s a story of connection, resilience, and hope. As a Scottish charitable company (SC570460) and registered charity (SC053818), we’ve built a space where people and horses come together to rewrite what’s possible.
Our solar-powered facility, just off the A1 and five miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, is a sanctuary for those seeking growth, healing, and empowerment. Here, every interaction with a horse, a mentor, or the land itself is a step toward a brighter future.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple but powerful: to empower young people, families, and communities to overcome challenges and thrive. Through equine experiences, we foster personal growth, creativity, and resilience while strengthening connections to others and the natural world.
At Eat, Sleep, Ride, we believe in the power of stories:
The Stories Horses Tell Us: Horses teach us trust, patience, and how to listen—skills that are essential for building healthy relationships and a strong sense of self.
The Stories of Young People and Families: Every individual who comes to us brings their own story, often one shaped by challenges. We help them create new chapters filled with confidence, connection, and opportunity.
The Story of Our Environment: The land we care for reflects our belief in sustainability and stewardship. By nurturing it, we inspire others to respect and protect the world around them.
Our work is about rewriting these stories together, creating pathways to growth, healing, and empowerment.
What We Do
Social Impact Programs
We create opportunities for individuals and families to grow and connect:
Youth Empowerment: Accredited awards, mentoring, and leadership opportunities give young people the tools to write their own stories of success.
Equine Therapy and Wellbeing: Horses provide a unique and powerful way to support emotional resilience and mental health.
Family and Community Support: We offer inclusive activities that bring people together, strengthening bonds and building brighter futures.
Environmental Stewardship: Our sustainable projects and rewilding initiatives teach respect for nature and its role in our collective wellbeing.
Commercial Services
Our social impact is sustained by these key offerings:
Riding Lessons and Equine Services: Whether you’re learning to ride for the first time or refining your skills, our lessons build confidence and connection.
Horse Training, Retraining, and Sales: From starting young horses to retraining and preparing horses for sale, we focus on ethical, professional practices.
Livery Services: High-quality care and facilities for horse owners looking for peace of mind.
Leadership and Team-Building Workshops: Programs tailored for businesses and organizations, designed to inspire collaboration and growth.
Event Space with Gardens: A stunning venue for workshops, celebrations, and gatherings, supporting our mission while serving the community.

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!
