The children and ponies are ready for the 2016 programme of ‘therapy in motion’ so now is the time to step forward to assist in the arena as from Monday 8 February.
Volunteer Linda Wilson explained, ‘To ensure the children gain maximum benefit from therapeutic riding in a safe environment, each class is led by a qualified instructor with a volunteer team assisting as sidewalkers or pony leaders. There’s nothing to beat fresh air, happy kids and our wonderful ponies in the lovely countryside in Assagay. The sheer joy of the children as they develop their bodies, minds and skills on horseback is wonderful to see. Wilson added, ‘Training classes on pony leading skills, First Aid in and out of the arena, the role of sidewalkers, the benefits of riding therapy and much more will be held during February’.
