As a registered coach with Riding for the
Disabled Australia I decided that it is a good idea to stick with national protocols,
policies and procedures when working with children, people with disabilities
and horses and as such chose not to be associated with the the local centre any
longer.
It has caused me a lot of heartache because
I love all the riders and cherished the time we spent horsing around but when
dealing with horses and children, it’s safety
first.
