My story

As a family we have a long history with Epsom RDA (Riding for the Disabled), 2 of my cousins have riden there for many years and have got so much enjoyment from it.  I also used to help out every week, although it was many years ago, it taught me not only what trusting, elegant, beautiful and kind animals horses are but also how much they give to adults and children who have tough times to deal with. The smile on their faces when they are in the saddle is wonderful to see.

David and I are so fortunate to have 3 healthy children, we know how lucky we are and are grateful every day.  Elise and Amelie ride every week at Horse Rangers and seeing how much they get from it just re-enforces how important it is for everybody to have the opportunity to ride these beautiful animals. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and should you like to sponser me I promise I will run my little socks off!

Superbly well done Toni. I know how tough it is, and that was without a detour to hospital. Enjoy the after-glow from all that hard work.
