For some of our riders with physical challenges, completing a circuit of walking of the park was no small feat, but with determination and spirit they succeeded, helping to support our work

 Mid Sussex Riding for the Disabled, (Charity no 1171410)  is a volunteer run charity providing therapeutic horse riding experiences for individuals with physical, sensory and learning disabilities, as well as mental health conditions.

Our sessions, open to both children and adults help improve physical strength, 

co-ordination and confidence in our riders – because ‘It’s what you can do that counts’

We rely entirely on volunteers and donations. Based at Chestnuts Riding School, Pyecombe we welcome new volunteers - no horses experience needed!
