Message:

I've really been wanting to do something for me, and we have one of the country's top special riding school's about 6 miles up the road, so i've decided to go for it.

I've just completed the forms and will send them off tomorrow. I'm all giddy and excited, although a bit nervous as i've never ridden a horse in my life when I was mobile, let alone now when i'm a wheelchair user!

Hi Anita, my physio thinks it'll really help with stretching my muscles and balance etc (plus it'll hopefully be fun). It's £6 for 35/45 mins, so an ok price really.

Is there anywhere near you that does riding?
