Our Riders

Our riders range in age from 4 to adult.  They have a wide range of physical and mental disabilities.  They come to love riding and love our horses.  They enjoy learning new skills.  We arrange gradings, through the Riding for the Disabled Association, to recognise and reward their abilities.

We love to take our horses and riders on holiday.  For example, in 2010 we went to Wales

We take part in competitions organised by the Riding for the Disabled Association.

If you know someone who you think would benefit from riding then please do get in touch, or visit us to see what we do.  Unfortunately we usually have a waiting list.

Riding Out

“All three of my children have ridden with Sugarloaf.  They have a vast range of disabilities ranging from physical to mental. The staff are friendly and get to know their individual needs and abilities.  Horse riding has greatly helped in both my children’s physical and mental needs.”

“My daughter has been able to represent Sugarloaf in a RDA Competition, where she came fourth.  The staff organise special days for the children, stable hand day.  Where the children can do a vast array of stable duties which they all love.  My children enjoy their time riding and talking to the members of staff and getting to know the horses.”
