Recorded on HAY Monday, we are joined by Sonya McAleer, the woman behind the Irish Equestrian Mental Health Project.

A few years ago, Sonya saw a need to provide more support for people within the equine industry and so, at her kitchen table, with drive and determination, she started this amazing charity.

Having struggled with her own mental health, she strives daily to provide support services to those who need it most.

The continued success of the HAY Campaign has only proven to amplify the voices of like-minded people such as Sonya and Equitas is honoured to be able to help.

Thank you Sonya for sharing your story and for your relentless pursuit to help others. Please support the IEMHP by giving them a follow and check out the FREE support services available.
