🐴💜 Well, I didn't expect to be doing this!

I'm helping Clwyd Special Riding Centre as their Admin Support, Vicki Admin Fairy, but I think they're helping me more than they realise!

The last time I was on a horse, I was about 15 or 16, back in my Llanfynydd RDA days. So it's been a few years! 😂

Last Tuesday, I got back in the saddle, thanks to their amazing mechanical horse simulator.

Was I nervous? Yes!
Did I love it? ABSOLUTELY! 💜

After breaking my hip in 2018, I honestly never thought I'd get the chance to do this again.

It's only the first step, but I'm already looking forward to the next one! 🐴

Never say I can't, ask HOW CAN I! 💜

Clwyd RDA Carriage Driving (Monday) Group
are looking for volunteers to join their friendly, inclusive team.

Our volunteers assist people with a disability to feel the freedom, power and movement of driving a pony and carriage. Providing independence and access to the outdoor environment. We also offer ground- based activities with our driving ponies.

Training is provided, giving you the opportunity to learn new skills with a wide range of tasks.

These can be horse related: eg. warming up in hand, head holding, harnessing and putting to.
Or participant related: eg. meet & greet, hat fitting, loading wheelchairs on to the carriage, assisting with activities.
We also clean harness sets, maintain the carriages, set out activity equipment and there is always the need for tea! There is something for everyone (horsey or not).
If you have a few hours to spare on a Monday we’d love to hear from you.

For more information please email Joanna (Carriage Driving Group Organiser)
