Riding for the Disabled  

In addition to its normal range of activities, Severnvale also hosts The Forest Riding for the Disable Group, which are members of the National Riding for the Disabled Association, and work under their guidance. The Group provide weekly term-time sessions at the Centre, with riding lessons offered to all local disabled children and adults who might benefit from being on a horse or pony.

These are held weekly on Thursdays during school

term time, between 1.45 pm to 4 pm, with rides

lasting about 30 minutes.

Look at the ‘Events schedule’ or the ‘What’s on now?’ pages to see when when this Group meets.

Come to our Open Day  

On Sunday 24th June

Severnvale have been running an Open Day for several years, in a bid to get more people into the saddle, take up the reins, and check out what they're missing! No experience is necessary, as riding is one of the most versatile sports to take up; and can equip you with positive skills, as well as a life-long love of horses.

Come along between 10 am and 4 pm for a look

around, and see the fun you could be having - you

can try your hand at grooming and even enjoy a

‘taster’ walk-around ride for just £2

The best piece of advice that could be given to anyone is not to be afraid to give it a go; as it's a rewarding and exciting sport that anyone, regardless of age, ability or background can have a go at - and riding is a great way to keep fit!.
