The aim of all Riding for the Disabled groups is to assist children with disabilities to experience the benefits that horse riding can bring to their health and well being. This local group of the Riding for the Disabled Association was founded in the late 1970’s by Beryl Rae, who named the group after herself and her daughter Sam. Today, the SAMBER group utilises the beautiful Common and surrounding countryside of Chobham to allow children with disabilities from local schools to ride beautiful ponies, and receive all the benefits that this entails. Running with almost 30 regular volunteers, 12 children from three primary schools come together with Pandora, Otto, and others to share the strength and therapeutic qualities that our equine friends offer in limitless supply.
