BDHRA uses horse riding as therapy to help over 100 children in Bedfordshire each year. On a horse a child receives physiotherapy in a subtle way. 

We are a small, independent, local charity set up sixty years ago by a far-sighted woman called Lady Miriam Godber.  We work out of our own premises in the village of Willington in Bedfordshire and have our own ponies and indoor and outdoor riding schools.  We are completely volunteer led.

We use our ponies as therapy for children and adults with physical and mental disabilities.  Sport is very difficult to access if you are disabled.  We primarily work with children from Special Schools in the area but we have a few adult riders too.
