We offer horse riding to about 34 children and adults with a range of disabilities, including:
From research, horse-riding (Hippo-therapy) provides recognised and measurable benefits:
"At walk the horse transfers the same movement pattern on to the patient’s trunk that two normally functioning legs would create during walking."
“The 3-dimensional movement of the horse’s back simulates the human gait.”
Riding takes place on a weekly basis at three separate venues, each catering for an entirely different group of people.
The work we do is enthusiastically endorsed and supported by all the teachers and therapy professionals involved.
They are all very impressed by the hugely beneficial effect, both physically and socially, that riding has for all their pupils and clients and by the skills and dedication of all the volunteers at each location.
Our instructors and helpers are all unpaid volunteers.
