Hoofprints Riding School

At Hoofprints we rehome and rehabiliate welfare horses. When they come to us they are withdrawn, often very underweight and weak, they require alot of understanding and ptience to bring the best out of them. This takes months. We have since rehomes over 21 horses in the last 9 years. “It was a delight to visit Hoofprints today and witness its fantastic works. Lucy and her volunteers do a wonderful job, not only in teaching local children and adults to ride, but also in rehabilitating and caring for horses in dire need of care. “Lucy has a wealth of expertise and it was clear that the invaluable instruction she imparts is filling youngsters with an enthusiasm for riding which hopefully will last a lifetime. However, the team there know as well as anyone that riding lessons, even though Lucy’s charges are competitive, are beyond the pockets of many people. Her particular ambition is to reach out to youngsters with learning difficulties, mental health problems or who simply come from low income backgrounds but would love to learn to ride. “I do hope that Lucy is able to secure some funding from charitable sources to make this possible, and I greatly look forward to following the progress and development of this excellent riding school.” Quote from John Bercow MP
