Our Horses
Tuesday September 27 2011
“The horses and ponies are the unsung heroes in this R.D.A story, almost 3,000 providing half a million rides and carriage drives a year.”
“Horses and ponies are very trusting animals, they are very warm hearted animals and they can often form a real bond between the participant and them.” ~ Diane Jeffries.
We are thankful to Pencoed College and the owners of the horses for allowing us the use of the horses.
