The People Behind the Practice
The Standards We Work To
Everyone representing TTT works within our Professional Standards and Principles, founded upon three commitments:
Connect — with compassion, curiosity and presence.
Reflect — with humility, integrity and evidence-informed judgement.
Inspire — through ethical leadership, relational practice and commitment to the welfare of horses and people.
Our standards cover professional competence, reflective practice, ethical decision-making, trauma-informed and relationship-centred practice, horse welfare, safeguarding, accountability, collaboration and professional humility.
Our Practitioners
Our practitioners work across education, community and custodial settings, including the prison estate. For professional and personal security, we do not publish individual staff profiles or photographs. Instead, we believe it is more important to be transparent about the standards, qualifications, supervision and professional development that underpin our practice.
Our Equine Facilitated Learning practitioners bring together equine knowledge and specialist professional experience. Across our team, this includes backgrounds in education, counselling and psychotherapy, social care, coaching, trauma-informed practice and other helping professions.
Practitioners work within the limits of their individual qualifications, experience and competence. We do not assume that an EFL qualification alone equips someone to work safely with every client group.
How We Train
Learning does not stop at qualification.
TTT maintains an ongoing programme of professional development, drawing on specialist expertise across equine behaviour and welfare, trauma, safeguarding, psychotherapy, education and relational practice.
How We Are Supervised
Supervision is a requirement of practice at TTT, not something reserved for when things go wrong.
Our practitioners participate in regular reflective and professional supervision appropriate to their role and the complexity of the work they undertake. Higher-complexity programmes may have additional specialist or clinical supervision arrangements.
Supervision provides a protected space to consider professional judgement, relational dynamics, safeguarding, psychological safety, ethical dilemmas, practitioner wellbeing and the impact of the work.
Presence Before Performance
We believe professional excellence is not demonstrated by having all the answers. It is demonstrated through the quality of our attention, the integrity of our decisions and our willingness to continually learn.
