We currently have vacancies for riding sessions for small groups of children with learning or physical disabilities. We normally take six children at a time, on weekdays during term time. Please get in touch with us via the contact form on the webpage if you would like to find out more.
Our good friends at the MG Car Club Sussex Wanderers have given us a fantastic donation of £2,300 raised from collections at their meetings during 2022. Each month they set off on a jolly in their wonderful cars, ending up with a lunch at a pub, where the hat is passed round. The members are very generous and we are very grateful to them.
On 2nd February Ursula Griffiths came to watch a lesson with some of the members and their cars, and to hand over the cheque. (Yes we know the one in the middle isn’t an MG – it sneaked in!)
We are very grateful to The Incorporated Church Institute (Upper Tooting) Limited who have been tremendous supporters over many years, and this year have come up with a fantastic £17,000 to fund our riders for the current year.
Other donations include £800 from the Dormansland Horse and Dog Show, £690 from a Masonic Lodge, £500 from the East Grinstead Lions Donkey Derby, £100 from the After Eight Ladies and £100 from RDA.
Four children and two ponies went to Hartpury to compete in the National Championships on an extremely hot weekend in July. Star and Guy went with them and between them they did very well with the following results:
