AN East Morton-based riding club intends to provide a horse showing class for riders with disabilities in its 2015 season.
Morton Showing Society, in Street Lane, will be offering the class at 11.30am on April 18, May 9, June 13 and September 19. It will be sponsored by the business Redmill Ireland.
Gay Illingworth, who is on the riding club’s committee, said entrants of all ages would be able to turn up on the day, for a £6 admission. She added: “As a club we’re into our fourth year now, but this is the first time we’ve had a class for riders with a disability,” she said.“If this class is well attended we will carry on for the whole season and riders or handlers will gather points for our presentation night.”
