Island Riding Centre

Island Riding Centre is proud to partner with the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) and already work with local individuals and schools, providing accessible horse riding and equine assisted therapy sessions on the Isle of Wight. Island Riding Centre is passionate about making horse riding accessible to all and they are continually aiming for our stables, facilities and accommodation to be fully accessible for wheelchair users. They have equipment to enable everyone to take in part in the riding they have on offer and their accessible equipment includes: A standard access ramp to aid the mounting of a horse A Martello mounting block that allows two helpers to assist either side of a rider A fully automated hoist capable of lifting a wheelchair user straight from their chair onto a horse up to 20 hands high! The new indoor arena has been designed to incorporate a Changing Places toilet of which there are currently only 4 on the whole of the Island.
