Yesterday the Clothes Horse team visited The Diamond Centre, one of the two charities we are raising money for.
The Diamond Centre has been open for nearly 34 years and only teaches disabled riders. They cater for 360 riders a week, ranging from the age of 4 to 66. The centre costs over a quarter of a million pounds to run every year; with no government funding and 280 volunteers a week, without whom they could not operate.
While on our tour of the centre we got to see some of the children practising their riding skills, we met all of their lovely horses and ponies (Marge was our favourite, see below) and saw all the special equipment that is needed to help their students ride safely and successfully.
Due to the equestrian theme that we chose for our event, we really wanted to help a charity involved in riding somehow. Having seen the fantastic work that The Diamond Centre do, and for some many people, we are overjoyed to be raising money for them at the Clothes Horse event on 27th April.
Love,
