Para 1.17 and 1.19	The charity operates from a purpose built centre which enables disabled riders, of all ages with a wide range of disabilities, to ride and handle the horses (where appropriate) for the benefit of their wellbeing.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Weekly we currently provide riding and therapy for 70 - 80: and education and equine facilitated learning for 54 plus. We competed in the County British Dressage Event and entered 30 riders in the Virtual Championships, and took 17 Rides to the national RDA Championships. Selection, training and purchasing of quality horses remains a high priority, as does the ongoing improvement of our facility. Several volunteers and coaches continue to train. The Group organised CPD days, first aid training and safeguarding courses, 2 new qualified coaches. We continue to be held with respect in our local communities – and are supported by local businesses and individuals. This is reflected in donations we receive. Many local schools both mainstream and special schools make use of our services as part of their educational programmes, including ‘Changing Lives Through Horses’, ‘Horse Harmony’ and Horse Care Courses.

The Equine Facilitated Education is very popular with Local schools. We also continue our close connections with local Consultants and Physiotherapists, other health care professionals and Organisations working within the NHS. We are once more able to offer Hippotherapy Sessions with a trained Hippotherapist. We offer work experience for those with Additional Needs. Riders continue to benefit from the loan of a mechanical horse enabling us to offer therapy, education, and improvement of riding skills. The Art & Gardening Sessions are particularly popular offering a different perspective. We have 2 social groups; The Happy Hoof Club continue to meet monthly, and the Social Accessibility Group meet fortnightly – for those with less mobility. Both Groups organise their own activities and meetings. A new venture this year is the Dementia Friendly Tea with a Pony – when a few local residents with dementia attend with their carers to meet the ponies and enjoy a High Tea. Recruitment of volunteers continues to be of high priority – as this is the main limiting factor on our rider numbers. We continue to maintain our buildings and field fences as an ongoing necessity.

Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost.
