More details

Riding is treated ( during lockdown) as a participant sport however it also serves as a therapeutic/ support service for many of our users. The benefits reach across all area of society, with no boundaries. To see riding as an elite sport is short sighted and naive. To over look it’s benefits at times of lockdown is perilous.
