5. Aldersbrook Riding School
In 1973, Ida wanted to get ponies and children together for their mutual benefit. That aim remains today. Over 20 years ago, by popular demand, a livery stables was established. Both businesses continue to express the same ethos with which it started.
"Well cared for horses are good for everyone!"
Ida has always cared about animal well being. As an ex-teacher and experienced rider, Ida used to make young horses, re-school problem ones, and exercise point-to-point horses and show jumpers. She was grateful for the help of Mrs. Myrna Brewer whose experience was in teaching children to ride. The two ladies brought all their skills together, obtained their BHSAI qualifications and developed the riding school from a piece of wooded waste land.
"Learning to follow the horse's movement before seeking to influence it, is a necessary but often neglected foundation for riding. The objective is unity, harmony, not the dominance of one creature by another."
Pleas Note: Though it is not currently mentioned on their website, Aldersbrook are part of the RDA and run regular groups for children with disabilities.
