Riding for the Disabled Association

 

Our riders

 

Our riders come from two local special schools Venture Academy, Henley in Arden and Northfield House School, Shrewley. The children from Venture Academy are 6-10 years old and those from Northfield House are usually teenagers.

 

As well as the schoolchildren we have a small number of children who come independently from their school who join in one session of varying ages and abilities.

 

Our riders are provided with hats and appropriate footwear for the lessons.

 

As well as the known therapeutic and physical benefits of riding we see an increase in confidence, awareness and communication skills from our riders whilst they are having fun in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
