White Horse Regional Community
Charity Partner 2021/22
Our local charity partner in this area is Riding for the Disabled - Abingdon
The group caters for many diverse disabilities, including learning difficulties, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy and a variety of syndromes. They have an average of 12 ponies at any one time and over 140 volunteers to support their disabled riders. For further information:
What Do They Do?
Riding for the Disabled has a connection with local disability specialist schools where groups come down for weekly sessions, and despite the disruption of covid, the centres are still providing their services to those in need. Their range of horses means they can cater for people of all shapes and sizes and the horses are specially trained and very well behaved (mostly!).
