Who We Are

Specialist support
for rural & equestrian survivors.

Lunara — portrait

"No one should face abuse alone — wherever they live."

The Bridle Path is a specialist domestic abuse and sexual violence initiative for rural and equestrian communities, including farming families, where animals, land, isolation, and community pressures can create unique barriers to safety, support, and recovery.

Most domestic abuse services are built for towns and cities. We are built for fields, stables, remote lanes and farming communities. We understand your world because we live in it too.

We provide specialist advocacy and independent support, and are developing equine-assisted recovery for survivors in rural and equestrian communities. Direct casework is currently available in Buckinghamshire and Devon, with information, signposting, training and research available UK-wide.

The Bridle Path is a UK-focused specialist initiative. Casework and equine-assisted support is currently available in Buckinghamshire and Devon. Training for professionals and research is available UK-wide.

Our Mission

The Bridle Path is a specialist domestic abuse and sexual violence initiative for rural and equestrian communities, including farming families, where animals, land, isolation, and community pressures can create unique barriers to safety, support, and recovery.

Our Vision

A future where survivors in rural, farming and equestrian communities are seen, believed and supported — where no one has to choose between their safety and the animals, land or life they love.

What We Offer

One stop shop.
Every step of the way.

Everything you need in one place — from your first contact to long-term recovery. You do not need to tell your story twice.

Please note: The Bridle Path is currently in its development and pilot phase, operating in Buckinghamshire and Devon. Direct casework and equine-assisted support are offered in Buckinghamshire and Devon in a controlled and staged way as our governance and policies are established. Training for professionals is available UK-wide. Please contact us to discuss your situation and what support may be available.
🌿

Healing Hooves & Hearts

Our specialist survivor support and recovery programme — designed specifically for people in rural, farming and equestrian communities. Like the Freedom Programme but built for the realities of farm life, equestrian communities, rural isolation, land and animals. Helping survivors understand what happened to them in language that reflects their world.

Currently in development. Contact us to register your interest.

⚖️

Criminal Justice Support

Specialist support through the criminal justice process — from understanding reporting options to court preparation. We are there before, during and after, making sure you are never alone in the system.

🛡️

Safety Planning

Practical safety planning that understands rural realities — animals, livestock, land, isolated locations, tied accommodation, family business and farm income, access to transport and communication, and complex financial dependencies. We help you plan for safety in a way that works for your life.

👴

Older Adult Specialism

Specialist support for older adults experiencing abuse — a deeply underserved group. We understand the unique barriers older survivors face and provide sensitive, age-appropriate advocacy.

Recovery Programme

Healing Hooves
& Hearts.

A survivor support programme built for rural, farming and equestrian communities

Healing Hooves and Hearts is a structured survivor support and recovery programme — similar in purpose to the Freedom Programme, but designed from the ground up for people in rural, farming and equestrian communities.

The Freedom Programme is a well-established domestic abuse recovery programme that helps survivors understand what has happened to them and recognise patterns of abuse. It has helped thousands of people across the UK. But it was built for mainstream settings and does not reflect the specific realities of farm life, equestrian communities, rural isolation, animals, land and the pressures survivors in these communities face.

Healing Hooves and Hearts fills that gap. It is more inclusive and more relevant — helping survivors in rural, farming and equestrian communities understand their experiences in language that speaks to their world, not the world mainstream services were built for.

What Makes It Different

  • 🌾 Designed specifically for rural, farming and equestrian communities — not adapted from urban models
  • 🐴 Addresses the unique dynamics of abuse tied to animals, land, livestock, livelihood and rural isolation
  • 🤝 More inclusive than existing programmes — built for older survivors, farming families, equestrian communities and those in tightly knit rural settings
  • 💬 Helps survivors name and understand coercive control in language that reflects their specific experience
  • 🌿 Recognises that leaving in a rural context is fundamentally different — and responds to that reality
  • 🛡️ Trauma-informed, survivor-centred and facilitated by a qualified IDVA and ISVA with lived experience

Healing Hooves and Hearts is currently in development and will be delivered through The Bridle Path's CIC arm. Contact us to register your interest and be among the first to hear when the programme launches.

Equestrian & Farming Communities

A specialist recovery programme for survivors of domestic abuse in equestrian and farming communities, where animals have been used as tools of coercive control.

Structured like the Freedom Programme but built specifically for equestrian and farming life — using the human-horse relationship as part of the healing process. Sessions help survivors understand domestic abuse, coercive control and healthy relationships in language that reflects their world.

Reclaiming
Your Path

Older Survivors in Rural Communities

A specialist domestic abuse programme for older survivors in rural communities — addressing abuse in later life including familial abuse, coercive control and neglect.

Older survivors in rural settings face unique barriers — isolation, financial dependence, digital exclusion and reliance on the very person abusing them. Reclaiming Your Path is built around their specific realities, with a rural and farming lens that mainstream older persons services do not provide.

Breaking
the Reins

Peer Support for Rural Survivors

A peer support group programme for survivors across rural, farming and equestrian communities — providing safe, specialist group support and connection.

Isolation is one of the most powerful tools abusers use in rural settings. Breaking the Reins creates a safe space for survivors who share the same world — farming, horses, rural life — to connect, support each other and rebuild together.

Who We Support

We are here
for you.

We support adults in rural and equestrian communities, including farming families, who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse or sexual violence. Direct casework is currently available in Buckinghamshire and Devon. Information, signposting, training and research are available UK-wide.

Horse Owners

Survivors whose horses have been used as tools of control — threatened, sold or withheld. We understand what it means when the abuser controls your horse.

Rural Survivors

People living in isolated rural areas where geography, transport and community visibility make accessing mainstream services impossible.

Equestrian Professionals

Grooms, instructors, yard managers and riders whose professional and personal lives are deeply intertwined with equestrian communities.

Older Adults

Older survivors in rural communities, including those whose abuse intersects with financial control, isolation and age-related vulnerability.

Those Not Ready to Leave

You do not need to be ready to leave. You do not need to have reported to the police. You just need to reach out. We meet you where you are.

Farming Families

Survivors whose safety is affected by land, livestock, family businesses, tied housing, financial dependency, and the pressures of close-knit rural communities. You belong here even if horses are not part of your world.

Families & Supporters

Friends, family members and professionals who are concerned about someone in a rural or equestrian community and want to know how to help.

Kirsty

Qualified IDVA & ISVA | Founder

Kirsty is a qualified Independent Domestic Violence Adviser and Independent Sexual Violence Adviser with frontline leadership experience in specialist services. She currently works as Frontline Lead at a national specialist charity dedicated to tackling the abuse of older people.

She has supported survivors with safety planning, risk assessment, criminal justice advocacy and trauma-informed support across a range of settings. Her specialism lies in understanding and addressing the unique barriers faced by survivors in rural and equestrian communities — including geographic isolation, economic dependency on land and animals, and the use of horses and livestock as tools of coercive control.

Kirsty founded The Bridle Path because she recognised that mainstream domestic abuse services, built for urban environments, are structurally unable to serve this population. For survivors whose lives are built around horses, land and rural communities, the barriers to leaving and accessing help are exponentially greater — and there was nobody addressing them.

She is an equestrian herself. She understands your world because she lives in it too.

"I started The Bridle Path because I kept meeting survivors for whom every existing service was the wrong shape. Built for cities. Built for women who could leave quietly. Built for people without a horse who needs feeding twice a day, or land that's in his name, or a community that would notice if she was gone. I knew there had to be something better."

Research & Evidence

Help us build
the evidence.

There is currently very limited UK data specifically on domestic abuse in equestrian and rural communities. Existing research on rural DA barriers and animal abuse as coercive control points strongly to a significant unmet need — but the equestrian-specific evidence base has not yet been built. We are building it — and we need your help.

We are running the UK survey on domestic abuse in equestrian and rural communities. Every response matters. Every voice counts. The data you provide will shape specialist services, inform policy, and put the experiences of rural and equestrian survivors on the national agenda.

25,000+ estimated horse-owning households affected by domestic abuse in Britain (ONS prevalence rate applied to BETA data)
71% of survivors delay leaving due to concerns about their animals
The Evidence Gap
  • → There is currently very limited UK data specifically on domestic abuse in equestrian and rural communities
  • → There appears to be no specialist UK service focused specifically on domestic abuse and sexual violence in rural and equestrian communities

The survey is completely anonymous. No names are collected. It takes approximately 5 minutes. Your responses will directly shape the services our community needs.

⚠️ This survey contains questions about domestic abuse and sexual violence. If anything raises difficult feelings, support is available on 0808 2000 247 (free, 24hrs). You can leave the survey at any time.
