Objectives

Our aim is to provide the opportunity for disabled people to improve their wellbeing through carriage driving. Our carriages are specially adapted to take wheelchairs giving mobility and encouraging confidence in a new skill alongside a fully trained coach. We aim to give the opportunity towards independence and fun in the fresh air.

Activities

We run our sessions several times a week and encourage people with a wide range of disabilities and ages to enjoy carriage driving and being with ponies depending on their ability.  We also fundraise towards the upkeep of our ponies and equipment. Our charity is entirely volunteer led.
