Supporting wellbeing through horses - SEND
Jacob's Den Equine CIC
A summary
We are very excited to invite you to our first Christmas at our new venue in Timberland, Lincoln. We have so much planned for our Christmas sessions. This includes lots of Christmas themed activities, such as Santa walks through the village with the ponies and also our own Christmas production that will be filmed so parents/carers can share!
And. as it is Christmas, all attendees will receive a CHRISTMAS HAMPER containing healthy food to add to your Christmas menu, as well as games and activities to entertain the family!!!
All attendees will also have the opportunity to use their creative talents to enter our JD competition to design new signage and a logo for Jacob's Den CIC, with the winners seeing their design used within our centre and our media.
We will also be planting ready for Spring, with a variety of trees and bulbs that will make a lasting difference to the environment, and the children will be able to enjoy every time they return to us.
We will of course still be continuing with our usual ground-based horse/pony themed activities, working in partnership with one of our 12 horses and ponies.
Children will learn about the responsibility, practical skills, knowledge and understanding that is needed for the day to day care of our animals. Children will meet new friends, horse and human. They will participate in a variety of activities, tasks and challenges that develop confidence and skills such as team work, communication, problem solving and empathy, all of which are transferrable into every day life.
The importance of healthy eating will, as always, be very central to our sessions, and children will be making their own healthy lunches from the ingredients of their choice, with a Christmas vibe of course!

Additional information
Please note, we are a SEND provider only, for children / young people with additional needs.
Further information can be found on our website: jacobsden.org or on our Facebook page: Jacob's Den Equine CIC.
Children will make their own lunches from a variety of ingredients and choices and will not need a packed lunch. They will need a water bottle and will have access to water to refill it all day.
Please make sure your child comes dressed for the environment and weather in clothes that they will not mind getting dirty. We are based outside so please ensure lots of warm clothes and sturdy boots/shoes are worn.
The day begins at 11:00am and we ask that parents/carers do not arrive before this time if possible as the local council have asked to limit parking times and not to park on the grass verges. Our centre can be accessed also by bus, with a ten minute walk from the bus stop in Martin.
