Camsley Grange Riding for The Disabled Group in Lymm, Cheshire has been
providing riding lessons for disabled children and adults
for 25 years. We
provide the opportunity for people with a wide range of physical
and mental disabilities to enjoy horse riding in a safe and
fun environment.
We currently own seven ponies, ranging in height from 11 to over 16
hands. An eighth horse is loaned to
us for individual lessons. All our
ponies are experienced at carrying disabled riders and are happy to stand beside
wheelchairs, ramps and mounting blocks to make getting aboard less of a
challenge. The ponies are happy to
work either on or off the lead rein and with or without helpers walking
alongside.
Specially adapted tack such as ladder and coloured reins, bareback pads
and
sheepskin saddle cloths can be used as required. Riders from special schools and colleges have lessons
during the day, while sessions for children from mainstream
school and adults are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings.
Each lesson lasts for half an hour.
Camsley Grange Riding
For the Disabled group is a registered charity. We rely on fundraising to support the group and pay for the
upkeep of our ponies. Forthcoming
fundraising events are listed in the Events
section.
