Our volunteers help out by grooming, tacking up
and leading horses to and from the fields, as well leading on the lessons and supporting and encouraging disabled riders.
You don't need previous yard or volunteering experience to join us as you will be accompanied by an experienced volunteer.
You can help in whatever capacity you
feel comfortable and learn many more
new skills

Transport is usually provided by volunteers, but we are always on the look out for generous drivers.
Lings Lane is also accessible by bus.
We are delighted to announce that our RDA Crowd Funding Platform has been successful and we have raised a massive £362. To put this into context, this is enough money to run one session a week for 17 weeks or to fund trips to every session in 4 weeks!
​
A massive thank you to all 42 people who donated but especially Simon Buttenshaw and Doug Thompson who donated £30 each
