Riding for the Disabled
We are a voluntary group that provides riding and carriage driving therapy for local disabled children and adults using selected horses and ponies.
We work from the Buxton Riding School, Fern Farm, London Rd, Buxton, SK17 9NP with riders from local schools and adult centres. Registered Charity No. 1182183
We're always looking for volunteers to help during our group sessions.
