Providing therapy, achievement and enjoyment to people with disabilities.

The Magpie Centre, RDA West Norfolk

Our horses and ponies provide therapy, achievement and enjoyment to people with disabilities.

We offer activities such as riding and carriage driving to all age groups and, wherever possible, to people with any disability. We also offer ‘Tea with a Pony’ for those living with dementia or other disabilities and Equine Assisted Learning Therapy (EALT) a programme encouraging interaction between horses and people to promote mental well being.

We have been carrying out our life-changing activities at our Wallington Hall location for over 30 years, and we take great pride in the exceptional standard of our instructors and volunteers.

We rely on voluntary help, as well as donations and legacies to deliver our services.

Horse Riding

Our goal is to give each rider, whatever their ability, the opportunity to be in control of their pony within a supportive and structured environment and perhaps most importantly to have fun.

Carriage Driving

Our carriages are especially designed to carry wheelchairs if required and every time a disabled driver is taken out they can be accompanied by their carer if appropriate.

Equine Therapy

Equine assisted learning therapy is a tailor-made, six week programme designed to promote mental well being through the relationship you can build with the horse.

Tea with a Pony

An opportunity for those living with dementia or other disabilities to meet, stroke and spend time with our fantastic ponies. Full Wheelchair access available.
