WHAT WE DO

Fortune College is an educational environment like no other. Using their love of horses as a motivator, we empower young people aged 16 to 25 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to have greater control of their lives.  

OUR COURSE

Students are taken on an educational and residential journey over three years. Split into six core areas, our curriculum gives them a solid foundation to learn everything from English and Maths – up to and including GCSEs – to riding and stable management. 

What we do at Fortune college

SPONSOR A HORSE

Our beautiful horses make our course a reality. These fascinating and emotionally aware animals are the perfect partners to help students learn valuable life, communication and employment skills. By sponsoring a horse, you’re helping to change lives.
