Wilton Riding for the Disabled (RDA) had an immediate success for those participating in ‘yoga with horses’, now a novel fund-raising activity.
Emma Bull, who runs equine assisted learning at Wilton RDA. said: “The Yoga classes, run by Kirsty Elliot from ’Yoga Within’, are a wonderful way to connect with nature in this beautiful rural setting. It’s a fantastic experience for mind and body, and the horses just wander around us while we focus on the yoga.
“Suitable for all ages, everyone thoroughly enjoys the experience, and the horses just tune into the very calm atmosphere created through the yoga.”
“At an annual running cost of more than £80,000 it is vital that Wilton RDA continues to fund-raise during the Coronavirus pandemic. It is an incredibly special place, where, under normal circumstances, more than 140 disabled riders, aged between three and 83, benefit from life-enhancing opportunities provided by the centre.
“Yoga with horses is just one of the many imaginative ways the RDA continues fund-raising efforts, and volunteers are always welcome to help and support this rewarding and fun environment.,” said Claire Hacker, RDA’s centre manager.
