“You don’t have to have visited or ridden with us before to take part in the course, so please do feel free to pop by and see what we have to offer”.

She added: “It’s a known fact that just half-an-hour of riding a week can boost your sense of wellbeing and help to keep you feeling healthy. It is a great way to get fit, strengthens your core body muscles and provides a relaxing cardiovascular workout.

“Riding also cheers you up when you’re down, provides mental stimulation and gives you the opportunity to forge friendships with like-minded people.”
