WRIDA

Joanna's last Nico foal at Verwood Meadow is one of the first batch of foals specially selected to join WRIDA. To quote from the website:

"The WRIDA (Western Riding for the Independent Disabled Association) Fund has been set up to finance a horse breeding and training programme that will make available to those disabled through traumatic physical injury or illness (like spinal injury), specially trained American Quarter Horses, Paints and Appaloosas, giving them the opportunity to explore the countryside on horseback and even enter ridden competitions because their mounts are so highly trained, that to an onlooker, no disability exists"

Gemma's Nico foals from this year are growing up well too - this lad is turning into a very handsom boy!
