A horse riding for the disabled centre near Sunderland is appealing to businesses to help raise £150,000 in order to put a roof on its outdoor arena.

Washington Riding Centre is a purpose-built, British Horse Society-approved equestrian centre, which is open seven days a week, all year round. On its books are 130 disabled horse riders, both children and adults, with a possibility for more when the outdoor arena is covered.

The riding centre’s administrator Eileen Curley commented: “The benefits of this have been increasingly recognised as highly effective, contributing to the improvement of a large number of medical conditions, providing a positive, unique and enjoyable form of therapy, brining a new dimension to restricted lives, and encouraging independence.

“With this extra facility we’ll be able to create more jobs. We’d be able to sustain it because of the volume.”

Businesses are being asked by the horse riding centre to either give a donation or a sponsorship/gift for them to use at the centre’s charity ball that’s being held in September.
