Welcome to Random's Retreat CIC
A Place Where People, Nature, and Horses Come Together for Growth and Wellbeing
Thank you for visiting our website. We are a natural learning centre based in Medomsley on the outskirts of Consett.
At Random’s Retreat, we provide a safe and inclusive space for people to connect with nature, animals, and themselves. As a family-run Community Interest Company (CIC), we offer equine-assisted learning, rewilding projects, and community programmes that promote personal growth, environmental stewardship, and mental wellbeing.
Our programmes are designed for:
- Individuals looking for support with confidence, communication, or emotional regulation.
- Young people eager to explore nature and develop leadership skills through our Young Rangers programme.
- Schools and organisations seeking innovative ways to foster teamwork, resilience, and creativity.
- The wider community interested in rewilding, environmental projects, and meaningful connections with animals.
With a focus on trauma-informed and strength-based practices, we work alongside our herd of gentle horses and a dedicated team to create transformative experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're here to find peace in nature, learn new skills, or contribute to conservation efforts, Random’s Retreat is your sanctuary.
Why us?

Whether you’re seeking personal growth, a confidence boost, or a peaceful escape, we welcome individuals of all ages and abilities—no prior experience with animals needed!
