What the charity exists to do
To provide riding experiences to as many school children and adults with physical and learning disabilities as can be managed within our weekly sessions. To encourage riders to obtain and further their riding skills or, for riders with more challenging disabilities, therapeutic riding or stroking a pony, with a view to perhaps riding in time. We have also started taking some of our riders to Regional Dressage competitions, which gives riders greater confidence and progression in their riding skills. We also teach riders about care of their pony and pony related skills.
