I am Poppy, I am aged 7 and I am trying to raise £1000 by the end of the year for The Shelley centre for therapeutic riding RDA.

I have been going to horse riding for a year. All the helpers are very kind and understand my needs. I especially love my horses Thomas, Cookie and Tiny Tim. Horse riding makes me feel calm and very happy.

I will be doing different fundraisers through the year to help me reach my goal.

My first is a 10 mile bike ride on Saturday 28th February. Please donate what you can.

Here’s a little bit about the Shelley centre.

We are a community which provides the opportunity to ride, or simply to have sensory contact with horses, for people of all ages living with a disability.
