About Us
Supporting Charity:
Every year we select a charity to support.
Please note: that as our Shows and Social events were postponed in 2020 we have carried over fund raising for The Diamond Centre into 2021.
The Diamond Centre for Disabled Riders provides therapeutic riding and carriage driving for children and adults with disabilities.
As part of the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA), The Diamond Centre exists to provide disabled people with the opportunity to ride, carriage drive or vault at the level of their ability to benefit their health and well being.
