This is how we will use your donation:
Riders Minds offers direct support for horse riders concerned about their mental health. Riders can call the helpline and receive one-to-one guidance from a confidential helpline accessible 24/7. This provides invaluable immediate support for those in crisis or requiring a listening ear.
The Riders Minds website provides a wealth of information specifically for riders who are seeking help or guidance about mental health.
As 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health issue at some point in their lives, it is likely that a significant number of horse riders will have or have had experience of a mental health issue.
By raising awareness of mental health in this sector, Riders Minds seeks to give aid and create a more open, compassionate atmosphere surrounding mental health in the equestrian sector.
By running campaigns and getting riders talking about mental health more widely and in a more positive manner, Riders Minds will reduce the stigma of mental health in the equestrian sector.
The horse riding community will benefit greatly by being able to speak freely about mental health, creating a healthier and safer culture for horse riders and the wider public.
