ABOUT

Mental_Health_First_Aider_badge_colour.png

Deerview Equine Interventions is an approved TheHorseCourse hub led by approved TheHorseCourse facilitator Jo Tucker.  Jo has a wealth of experience having worked as a facilitator and trainer for TheHorseCourse HQ in Weymouth for a number of years before embarking on opening a hub to serve East Dorset, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and the New Forest.  

As well as delivering TheHorseCourse interventions Deerview also offers alternative provision.  With Jo having a background in education and qualifications in teaching learners with specific learning difficulties, Deerview provides a practical learning experience tailored to students' needs.

Jo is also our Designated Safeguarding Lead, and is  level 3 safeguarding trained, Designated Safeguarding Lead trained, Safer Recruitment trained, Mental Health First Aid trained and First Aid at Work trained.

We have a fabulous team of specially trained horses, each one offering their own unique personalities for participants to connect with.

The name Deerview came from the full registered name of Jo's horse Deerview Sunday (Sunny), who was the one who led her down the path of Equine Facilitated Learning.  Sunny worked alongside Jo for many years at TheHorseCourse in Weymouth offering his generous spirit and confidence to those who worked with him.
