Disabled Riding

Morants Hall Disabled Riding School was founded in 1996 by Jacquie and Mike Volf.

The facility is Managed and run by Sandra Knight (BHSAI) who has over 20 years experience in the equestrian world.

We have two ponies, Freddie and Billy, who's specific job is social interaction with disabled clients. Their calm and inquisitive manner is ideal to familiarise clients to the touch, smell and sounds of horses.

Once the introductions are complete, clients have the opportunity to either ride in our Bennington trap, which is specially adapted for wheelchairs, and is pulled by Minnie, who has undergone special training for this purpose, or ride Holy in a conventional manner.

We have all the available equipment necessary to ensure a safe riding environment, ranging from Disabled Saddles to Ramps and Hoists. Safety is of prime importance, hence a 2 to 1 staffing ratio at all times. We also ensure that riding is only implemented in good weather conditions, ensuring an enjoyable experience for everyone.

If you would like to use the facilities at Morants Hall, please contact us at the following number: 01206 392634.
