I joined the Cambs College RDA group just after the Covid lockdown. I had borrowed one of the RDA horses, Larry, during lockdown to teach my husband to ride. After that I became a volunteer. When Tomoko had to leave the group and return home to Japan, I took on the horse welfare a job that Tomoko previously held within the group. When Gillian announced she would like to step down I agreed to become the vice chairman to try and learn the job. I am now the chair but luckily for me we have a very good team of volunteers I can rely on and Gillian is on hand for advice whenever I need it. I have loved being a volunteer and it has taught me so much about disability and how well that works with horses. For me the horse bit was quite easy as I have had horses all my life. I am now about to take my final assessment to becoming a coach too.
