Our well-loved Horselidays programme is back this June! 🐴☀️ Sign your kids up for a fun-filled school holiday experience where they can connect with our gentle horses, make new friends, and discover the joy of learning through meaningful hands-on activities. From horse interactions and stable experiences to nature-based explorations, every day is designed to inspire confidence, curiosity and connection. Whether your child is meeting horses for the first time or returning for more equine fun, Horselidays promises unforgettable memories and plenty of smiles. Spaces are limited, so sign up early via link in our profile to secure your spot!

We were honoured to be part of the Lunar New Year Istana Open House on 22 February 2026 — a special Year of the Horse edition — where members of the public, young and old, stopped by to meet the EQUAL herd. It was a joy to see visitors, including @tasekacademy families, spending time with our miniature horses and experiencing these gentle interactions up close. We were especially privileged that President Tharman Shanmugaratnam @tharman.sg took time during the walkabout to interact with Caterpillar. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share about EQUAL’s work, and heartened by the strong encouragement and support from members of the public. As we step into the Year of the Horse, we hope for continued support to bring our programmes to more in the community. If you’d like to find out more ways to be involved, DM us — we’d love to hear from you. 🐴🧧 Special thanks to @chriscph7 for some of these photos!

On 20 February 2026, EQUAL brought seniors from six @ntuchealth nursing homes together with our therapy horses — part of our growing work supporting emotional wellbeing across Singapore’s ageing community. We were honoured to have Minister @hongtatchee , Member of Parliament for Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC, join us for the celebration, underscoring the importance of community-based care for our seniors. Together, we tossed a special Lo Hei / “Hay” — with our horses right beside us. Our miniature horses grazed calmly alongside the seniors, leaned in for gentle greetings, and drew quiet smiles. At one point, a senior broke into a familiar Chinese New Year tune — a spontaneous moment that lifted the afternoon. At EQUAL, guided time with horses supports emotional wellbeing, confidence, and connection for seniors, youths, and children — especially those who benefit from safe, non-judgemental spaces to reconnect. As demand from community partners continues to grow, we welcome more supporters and partners to help sustain and expand our equine-assisted programmes across Singapore. 🐎 Partner or volunteer with us. ❤️ Support our programmes via the link in bio.

🐴✨ Give your child an experience they’ll never forget. At EQUAL’s Horse-lidays programme — taking place this March school holidays — children & teens won’t just be attending a camp. They’ll be learning real, life-shaping skills and do incredibly cool things! They’ll walk with a horse. Work with their pals to overcome obstacles in the horse arena. Learn how to care for horses, and for the people around them. They will build confidence, emotional awareness and communication skills in ways a classroom simply can’t replicate. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience: one that we guarantee your kids will be talking about long after the holidays end. 🚨 Registration closes by 27 February... one week left to sign up!

Xin Nian Kuai Le and Wan Shi Ru Yi – Happy Chinese New Year from all of us at the New Zealand High Commission! 🎊 In the spirit of this year’s celebration of the Year of the Horse – a symbol of strength, resilience and compassion – High Commissioner Gabrielle Rush visited EQUAL @equal.sg , a Singapore charity that partners with animals to provide experiential and educational programmes that help empower vulnerable persons such as children, youths, persons with special needs, families, and seniors by enhancing their social and emotional well-being and supporting social integration in a safe environment. 🐴 We thank EQUAL for hosting us and a special acknowledgement to Caterpillar who played a starring role in the visit for helping us celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse. 🐎 We wish all friends of the High Commission a wonderful and ‘horspicious’ year ahead and to embrace the spirit of Mǎ Bù Tíng Tí (unrelenting achievements and success) in everything you do.

A first for Jewel Changi Airport ⭐️ In celebration of the Year of the Horse 🐴 we’re incredibly honoured that EQUAL’s mini therapy horses were invited to appear at Jewel — one of the best airports in the world. This partnership marks the very first time Jewel has brought in horses, and we couldn’t be prouder to see our gentle ambassadors sharing moments of calm, joy and connection with the public in such an iconic space. Our deepest thanks to the team from Changi Airport Group and Jewel for their trust, vision and close collaboration. Your openness to something new — and your unwavering commitment to safety, welfare and excellence made this meaningful first possible.

When mental wellness isn’t about talking more 🐴💛 During EQUAL’s recent chat on CNA 93.8FM’s Wellness Hour, one idea kept coming back: healing isn’t always built through words alone. Our CEO Elaine Chen and Programme Instructor Zarrah Aloba shared how equine-assisted learning offers a different entry point — helping people notice how they show up, regulate emotions, and build steadiness through experience. In our sessions, we often witness moments like these: ✨ seniors who were less socially engaged becoming more expressive and connected ✨ youths who usually react quickly learning to pause ✨ adults recognising stress earlier before it escalates Quiet moments. Powerful shifts. Thank you CNA938 and host Hui Wong for spotlighting mental wellness approaches that are experiential, relational, and grounded in real-world impact. 🎧 Replay link here: https://lnkd.in/g9zhfcVT #EQUALSG #MentalWellness #CNA938 #EquineAssistedLearning #Wellbeing #MentalHealth #SocialImpact

🐴For many of our seniors, it was their very first time encountering horses up and close. It was both a thrilling and eye-opening experience. Most unexpectedly, many of them approached the horses fearlessly, choosing to share their warmth and smiles with these animals. 🐎A big thank you to @equal.sg for coordinating this experience for us! Our residents really had a great time interacting with the friendly staff and volunteers and of course the horses. 🧡🐎🧡
