Horse riding for the Disabled.

Although some of the pupils in the unit take part in main stream or modified P.E. there are a number of them who take part in developing their balance, co-ordination and confidence skills by learning to ride with the local Riding for the Disabled Centre.

The centre is run by volunteers who offer a fortnightly session for the pupils

During the summer months the pupils ride outside, but during the winter they use the inside equestrian centre. As a "treat" they are also offered a visit to Olympia to the  Horse of the Year Show in December.

Below are some pictures from our visit in November.
