We believe in the positive impact of the outdoors on mental health and this is just the beginning of our partnership with Mind… watch this space!
Here at Naylors, together with GO Outdoors, Blacks & Millets, we have partnered with the amazing charity, Mind and we're raising awareness of the benefits the great outdoors has on your mental health.
Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. In England, 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (such as anxiety and depression) in any given week.
With winter just around the corner and the horses staying in more why not treat yourself or somebody else to a Mind Hat to help keep them warm at the yard where 100% of the profits are going to Mind.
What Is Mind?
Mind is a mental health charity whose mission is to provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. Their vision is to ensure everyone experiencing mental health issues gets the support they need and the respect they deserve.
How Horses Can Benefit Your Mental Health
It is no secret that the impact our horses have on our mental health can be huge.
Spending time with our equine friends can help us be happier and more positive. Horses are believed to understand human emotions and they will often mirror or react to them which can really help us to accept and understand how we’re feeling, without fear of judgment.
Horse riding can also be the perfect solution to exercising as looking after your body also helps to look after your mind. It can also help improve confidence and assertiveness as horses don’t respond well to being forced or bullied into doing things, they respond well to a gentle, understanding handler who they can build a trust with to become a great partnership.
