Your presenter, Milly Paton, has worked supporting people with their mental health for the past 20 years, and for 15 of those as a mental health nurse. As an equestrian coach and equine rehabilitation specialist, she is passionate about bringing both of these worlds together to ensure that riders and owners are supported with their mental health and learning needs as much as their horses are and her coaching focuses on providing an environment based on wellbeing for both your and your horse.
