Riding for the disabled is such a worthy cause. 38 times in 50 days won't be easy , please join me if you can.

Bay of Plenty

As a college teacher I have seen many students participate in riding for the disabled.

They welcome and assist people of all ages. A person may be referred to them in a number of ways, including word of mouth or referral from a health, recreational or teaching professional. Over 80 per cent of their riders are children and teenagers. 37 per cent have a physical or intellectual disability while just over a quarter are on the autistic spectrum. Many of their riders live with more than one disability.

I have often commented that when I set foot on Mauao it makes me feel at home and grounded - closer to the people I miss most. Much the same as my students talk about feeling while riding.

Life is busy and 38 times in 50 days won't be easy but I know I can do it. Feel free to join me.

As a teacher I have seen the amazing benefit our students have gained being outdoors, building confidence, calming, soothing, improving posture and co-ordination. I wish every student could experience this and I want to help make it possible.
