| Around 23
sessions take place weekly at the The Meadow School of riding. Some riders have
private lessons – others come with a group; usually from schools or day
care centres. Dawn Whitmore, who holds the RDA qualification and is the
Regional Instructor for the East Midlands area, runs all of the sessions.

| A reception area is available to keep the riders dry
and warm whilst waiting. A variety of activities are on offer which
encourage independence and help contribute to improvements in a wide range of
medical conditions. |
| |
| Riders may
enter competitions ranging from Special Olympics (with working trails and
dressage classes both off and on lead rein) to Riding with Music, with optional
fancy dress. |

The group
sessions would not run but for the team of volunteers who help for an hour or
so each week. New volunteers are always welcomed and training is
provided.
If you would like to assist in the delivery of these riding
sessions - possibly as a "sidewalker" or helper then please use the stables
contact form or send an e-mail to
Dawn.
The Ashmount
School RDA Group has produced a brief leaflet with details for helpers - this
can be accessed from this link. |
