Smeltings Farm Riding Centre provides regular tuition for the Sheffield RDA Group. We have riding sessions twice a week and those participating, both riders and helpers, find the sessions very rewarding.
If you would be interested in assisting please contact us or alternatively if you wish to make a donation, or find out more about the Riding for the Disabled Association please visit their web site at https://www.rda.org.uk/
I saw a child who could not walk,
sit on a horse and laugh and talk
Then ride it through a field of daisies
- and yet he could not walk unaided.
I saw a child, no legs below,
sit on a horse and make it go through woods
of green & places he had never seen,
to sit and stare - except from a chair.
I saw a child who could not crawl,
mount a horse and sit up tall.
Put it through degrees of paces,
and laugh at the wonder in our faces.
I saw a child born into strife,
take up and hold the reins of life
And this same child was heard to say
'thank God for showing me the way'.
