Winnie’s passion for inspiring others with a disability to get involved in horse riding is inspiring. She currently uses her social media channels to connect with others, share stories, meet other people with similar interests, challenges, and desires to overcome their fears or worries. She also writes a blog to share her experiences and inspire others to start their own journey.
Winnie’s story is a powerful one which shows the importance of sport and physical activity being accessible to people with a disability. Latest figures from Activity Alliance indicate that only 40% of disabled people feel they are given the opportunity to be as active as they would like to be.
Winnie’s dream is for more riding centres to adapt facilities for disabled people across the country to enable others with the opportunity to experience the life changing benefits horse riding and staying physically active can have.
The Avon Riding Centre has received funding jointly from Voscur and Wesport through the Sport England Tackling Inequalities Fund. Read more about the fund here.
