I WOULD just like to take this opportunity to say a heart-felt 'thank you', on behalf of my son and myself, to the RDA and to Peter of Dickin North Farm Riding Establishment, Ludlow, and all his wonderful helpers for all the hard work and dedication and kindness they give to my son and many other children.

It is a joy to watch how much confidence and self-esteem the children gain from this experience.

These riding lessons are invaluable to my son and many others who have mobility and co-ordination difficulties. Thank you all very much,

A very grateful mum.
