A charity for retired racehorses has turned to teaching students who struggle at school.
HEROS, based at a stud farm in Oxfordshire, opened a forest school for students with special education needs (SEN) last month.
It has been educating young people at the farm, on topics including horse care, since 2015 but it is now hoping to expand.
The charity has a £1m fundraising campaign for a new education suite.
It hopes the money will allow it to double the number of students it can teach.
The charity, near Fawley, started rehabilitating retired racehorses but realised the animals could have a positive impact on young people who were struggling.
