The Group was formed in 1986 by a some enthusiastic parents to provide an opportunity for riding to the pupils from the Mount  Special Needs School in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.   With twelve volunteers and six borrowed ponies the children started riding on a Thursday afternoon. 

We are now one of the most active groups in Leicestershire and have fifty riders each week from schools and day centres in Melton Mowbray, Oakham and  surrounding areas.

Our future plans are to continue the invaluable work with disabled children and adults and to help them  achieve their  potential,  be it an enjoyable experience for them once a week, a therapeutic session or training for a Special Olympic ( learning disability) or Para (physical disability)  competition; we will do our very best to help them achieve their dreams. 

Our first Christmas, and yes we still decorate the ponies !!
