Welcome to Follifoot Park Disabled Riders Group
 Reg. Charity 1042415.Patron: Michael Abrahams CBE, DL
The aim of the Group, established in 1986, is to provide therapeutic and enjoyable riding and carriage-driving for children and adults with a wide variety of disabilities. |
The Benefits
Most disabilities are helped by the movement of the horse. Back and leg muscles are strengthened, head control and general balance improved. Group exercises and games to increase mobility are fun and confidence bossting, too. The benefits to the riders both physically and mentally are evident - especially to those that ride regularly.
For many of our riders, being on a horse gives them a grace which they lack when endeavouring to walk or sitting in a wheelchair. For many, riding is the only occasion when they are "in charge". This alone is a tremendous confidence booster.
