Tullynewbank Stables
A haven for wellbeing
Tullynewbank Stables is a Northern Ireland centre for equine facilitated learning and development, situated just 14 miles from Belfast’s city centre, it is the perfect rural location to find peace and tranquillity. Tullynewbank Stables opened its doors in 1999 to provide a facility for everyone to enjoy and benefit from horses regardless of their background or ability.
A world in which people can live out their lives to the full
Our vision is a world in which everyone has the opportunity to explore and live out their individual life purpose. A world in which everyone, regardless of starting point, talent or ability, is able to maximise their potential and make their unique contribution. A world in which difference is celebrated and lives can be lived as they were meant to be – authentically and to the full.
We want to create a haven for wellbeing for children of all ages and abilities, adults, communities and corporations facilitated by our greatest asset – our horses.

Equine Facilitated Learning
Horses are great teachers and at the centre of everything we do to achieve our primary goal of helping people flourish. Life isn’t easy and we all will experience setbacks at some stage. Our resilience, or ability to bounce back, means that most of the time we push through the challenge and achieve personal growth. Sometimes, however, we become stuck in patterns of thinking and behaviour that don’t support our natural development and growth.
In times like these the Tullynewbank Stables haven for well-being is there with programmes designed to help adults & children unfreeze by changing those very patterns of thought and action that are preventing them from leading happier, more fulfilled lives.

What our clients say
Indescribable
Being in the presence of and working alongside the horses is just amazing, indescribable! Simone is an excellent facilitator, how she helps bring an aspect of yourself or an aspect within your life to your awareness with the help of the horses is something that needs to be experienced by everyone!
Amazing experience
What an amazing experience with EFL at Tullynewbank Stables. The group overcame many barriers, experiential and dealt with a range of emotions in a healthy way under the expertise of Simone. Simone was very knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate and professional. She knew exactly what the group needed and along with the horses the group had a transformational experience.
Outstanding facility
Tullynewbank Stables is an outstanding facility which offers a safe space for everyone. The staff are second to none with their professional approach, all the participants had a fantastic experience and they gathered a new understanding of how to deal with life post covid. This is an experience that should be mad available to everyone.
Eye opening
This has been the most eye opening, emotionally challenging and truly exhilarating experience of my adult life. At 40 years old with a health condition I felt past my prime and wrote off due to the out breakoff covid and my own daily physical challenges and deep depression. Connecting with Philip enabled me to hold a mirror up to myself the good, the bad and the ugly. I had many deep emotions and this past week opened up and told someone close to me things I’ve never spoke of before. I have been set free today was a roller coaster anticipation, fear then letting go and feeling the love and sheer joy and peace in my soul.
Horses were invaluable
On beginning this course I had no idea what it was about or what to expect. The whole experience has been amazing, it has made us look at ourselves, obstacles in our lives and how to overcome them. The horses were invaluable in supporting and assisting us on our journeys. I enjoyed every minute of it and looked forward to it each week. Simone was an absolute star, bringing peace, calmness and support from day one. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I feel so thankful and blessed to have taken part.
Excellent
The course was excellent it has helped me manage my emotions in order to try and lead a fulfilled life within my limitations.
Really enjoyed this
I have really enjoyed this course, if I didn’t feel good going into the course I felt amazing when I came out of it. The teacher Simone was excellent in explaining things and putting things into perspective. It was very emotional being with the horses and connecting with them. You can see so many similarities in your own life when you watch the horses behaviour. I would recommend this course to everyone and the feelings you get from it is amazing.
Awakened my skills
I feel this course has been so good, it has awaken skills in me I thought I couldn’t do anymore and has taught me to try even if it doesn’t work out. I look forward to doing things that I haven’t done for a long time and would really recommend this course to anyone young or old, it’s so encouraging and helpful.
I fell in love
Since getting bullied at school and dealing with other health issues I was at the lowest point in my life, I couldn’t see a future or light at the end of the tunnel, however one day in September 2019 I was introduced to Simone at Tullynewbank Stables , she embraced me and offered me to go and see the horses, I instantly fell in love with them, they made me feel calm and I couldn’t believe how intelligent they were, over the weeks I learnt how to groom, look after muck out and ride , it was the most amazing experience I have ever had, Simone took me under her wing and taught me how to deal with my anxiety and emotions through the horses, I feel such calmness and emotional strength whilst I am with them, I have learnt how to become more independent and assertive within myself and feel my mood has improved and I feel the horses have been a true blessing to my life and has made my life complete
