Riding Therapy

Every Wednesday, in partnership with Bro Morgannwg and Swansea NHS Trusts, Local Aid volunteers support trained physiotherapists working with children who have a range of physical disabilities.

Cimla Riding School, Neath, hosts the afternoon, for children of all ages. Many children and young people continue to ride at local stables following their sessions with Local Aid. Children who attend are able to experience the chance to touch, ride and enjoy the horses and surroundings.

They are encouraged to participate in several physiotherapy exercises including honing their concentration, hand eye coordination, balance, touch and smell. They gain sensory experiences, build confidence; enjoy the animals and the fresh air.
