 This week ..................Today we had three riders in the first lesson. The riders trotted without stirrups and also rode independently. Kim had good impulsion on Sultan. Chris rode Rupert and Ellie rode Joey.
Our second group were taught by Alison and rode in walk and trot. Everyone walked circles between the cones without stirrups. Rebecca rode Sultan well and her legs lengthened into the stirrups. Orla steered Harvey and played stretching games - and made star shapes. We sang Happy Birthday to Michelle. The third group worked hard - and we almost forgot the time! We walked around the track - and took it in turns to halt - and 'bump' the rider in front to start walking again. We all trotted around the track. We were brave and did work without stirrups. Updated 24th January 2012 | Welcome to Arundel Group Riding for the Disabled.
The aim of our group is to give the opportunity of riding to any disabled person who might benefit in general health or happiness. Our riding sessions take place on Tuesday afternoons during term-time at the Arundel Riding Centre - in Arundel, West Sussex. The group is part of the South East Region RDA which covers Sussex, Surrey and Kent.
Coming Soon - Fundraising ..............
We will shortly be distributing tubes of Smarties to all riders and volunteers. The idea is that you eat the Smarties, fill the tube with your loose change, return the tube, get more Smarties, etc etc. That way we’re all involved in fundraising and get to eat chocolate - it’s a win win situation!!
13th February - Volunteers Coffee 'n' Cakes
