About Us

Harness Change at Cumbria Rural Academy CIC is a Community Interest Company and provides educational courses and training to promote fitness, physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as emotional awareness with due regard to the welfare of animals and wider ecological and environmental impact.

Join us in a new approach to learning with horses. We offer everything from horse riding for all abilities including high-level dressage coaching, events for business groups, team building, alternative education, personal wellbeing support, and much more.

We focus on equine-facilitated learning rather than simply training people to ride horses and be competitive. Our journey of progression is internal and about mindfulness rather than about external goals and achievements. We teach life skills and everything we do is about improving the happiness, mental health and physical health of both horses and their riders.

Hours: Full, Part-Time or Freelance
