The Fortune Centre of Riding Therapy (FCRT) provides education and therapy through horses. It is a UK based registered charity serving as Independent Specialist Provision for young horse enthusiasts with Learning Difficulties and Disabilities whose educational needs post-16 cannot be met in government provision.
The Fortune Centre of Riding Therapy operates a residential “Further Education Through Horsemastership” (FETH) Course. FETH course students develop the skills that they require to lead more independent lives. The use and involvement of horses in the education process is at the core of its unique work. Teaching and learning is through transferrable skills from the horse-based environment to skills of daily living.
The Fortune Centre of Riding Therapy also provides non-residential Equine Facilitated Education and Therapy for young children and older adults with a variety of disabilities.
Students are funded by the UK government through their Local Authority. Capital income and expenditure is dependent on charitable donations.
The Fortune Centre of Riding Therapy's work is spread across three locations in The New Forest, Hampshire, England.

Famous quotes containing the words fortune, centre, riding and/or therapy:
“For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence—the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.”
—Daniel Day Lewis (b. 1957)
“Commuter—one who spends his life
In riding to and from his wife;
A man who shaves and takes a train,
And then rides back to shave again.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
