The registering of this fund with the Charity Commission will open up so many other funding opportunities and allow us, with this extra funding to:

• Purchase an enclosed car transporter and convert to a suitable transport for the miniature horses.

• Purchase a small motorhome or horse lorry and convert as suitable transport for the miniature horses and Pygmy goats to visit shows, events, schools, care homes and rehabilitation centres.

• Practise balance on our ‘off-piste’ rustic trail, following life-changing injury whether using a wheelchair or prosthetic leg(s).

• Breed and then train Western or purchase seasoned Western trained horses of the American breeds of horses (American Quarter Horse, American Paint Horse and American Appaloosa), these ‘stock’ breeds of horse chosen for their calm yet sensitive natures and shallow, comfortable way of moving.

These horses will first be trained to work individually, confidently and calmly in all situations, like police horses are (to be as ‘bombproof’ as possible) and then be trained to work in trios, so that a disabled rider has an outrider either side of them, for safety and reassurance if the rider is nervous.

These trios of horse will then be placed at approved riding centres adjacent to miles of off-road riding who are able to teach the basics of Western riding.

The fund will also pay for Western saddles with airline lap belts, a specialist hoist for mounting and an accessible toilet at these centres.

All big plans but anything is possible with the support of the general public.
