Story
On Sunday 9 June 2024 we're running 10K to feed our therapy ponies
If you've followed us previously, you'll know that we're no strangers to 'going for a run' (or several) in order to raise funds for our horses. We have amazing staff and volunteers who regularly run and fundraise for us, rain or shine. Come along, Trigger the pony will be crossing the finish line with us!
Why are we raising funds?
As a charity, we rely 100% on donations to keep our services going. As for everyone, the cost of living crisis has hit us hard. The cost of feed for our horses and ponies has gone up by considerably. This takes a large amount of budget away that could be used to support more people in need.
What we do
We're a small stables with a big heart. We're an award winning Riding for the Disabled (RDA) centre. We work with children and adults, with disabilities and without, offering equine and hippotherapy and act as a social hub. We are inclusive and welcoming, be it to receive respite from the challenges faced by daily life, a quick horsey cuddle to lift the spirits or a chat with one of our staff or volunteers
About Us
We are a registered RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) centre with a wide programme of activities, including assisted riding, horse care, carriage driving, and hippotherapy. We daily see how being around horses enriches the lives of children and adults with disabilities or learning difficulties. Whether on the autistic spectrum, visually impaired, or a full-time wheelchair user, we offer activities that can help improve confidence, skills and self-esteem, set within a supportive and friendly environment. All sessions are run by fully trained RDA instructors and DBS-checked volunteers.
