Story

Thankyou so much to Vicky for suggesting and to everyone for donating. Cameron is just one of the many who have been affected by the centres closure. Riders, non-riders, office staff, grooms, volunteers, therapists, carers, parents.....the list is endless. If you could talk to everyone involved with the centre, you’d see they each have a different reason to be there, but I’m sure they’d all agree - being part of Avon is life changing. We don’t work with a few people, Our horses are heroes to hundreds and we do need help to keep giving unique experiences to people of all ages and all abilities. 

Thankyou for helping secure Avon’s future xx
