Riding for the Disabled 22 July 1999
Local riding school and equestrian centre, Wadlands at Calverley, have a strong committment to giving horsey experience to disabled youngsters. Hearing that they were short of helpers, our Community Service committee rounded up some of the retired members to help fill the gap.

 Fred leads forth Peter Malby and Fred Beaumont were amongst the first to volunteer and helped the ladies with two partially sighted boys, leading the horses round the indoor riding school.

 

Peter said "I was O.K. until we had to lead the horse in a trot - I was going flat out and trying to keep my feet away from the hooves". Fred said he was built more for a Shetland pony and took away several bootfuls of horse muck.
