- Disabled
Members
- Our
disabled members have a wide range of disabilities but they all
have one thing in common, the desire to take part in activities
in which they can participate in on a par with the able-bodied.
No experience of horses is needed before joining.
Normally the disabled will need to bring a carer with them
to meetings to look after them when not driving. The carer will not be
required to pay the annual subscription.
Driving instruction is given by experienced companion drivers..
- Companion
Drivers
- All
our Companion Drivers (able-bodied whips) are highly skilled and
experienced, they are required to pass very demanding tests before
being permitted to accompany a disabled member. They all take great
pleasure in imparting their skills to their co-driver.
- Helpers
- Without
our loyal helpers we could not function. At the start of the driving
season courses are run initiating (or refreshing) them in the skills
which they will need. These include checking harnesses, loading
wheelchairs and handling the ponies whilst the carts are being loaded.
The more energetic, (not necessarily the younger!) also accompany
the drives on mountain bicycles.

The
Annual subscription paid by all members is £10.00 Disabled
members also contribute £2.00 per meeting towards costs.
Members are covered by our insurance policy when participating in
our activities.
