The work we do builds on social skills and the ability to interact with other people such as the Groups’ helpers and other riders. We often find that the horse helps to improve the Rider’s ability to interact with others.

The relationships that develop within the group are often the first steps from a sheltered life to the world outside. The widening of horizons may arouse further interest in equestrian, countryside and other activities.

Our Group provides the opportunity for our Riders to attend a 5 day riding holiday at a specialist Disabled Riding Centre in Clwyd, Wales. We run two holidays each summer, often providing our members with their first ever holiday away from their parents.

The physical challenge and mental stimulus derived from the activities provided by Seaside Venture Group provide a sense of achievement leading to greater self-confidence; newly found capabilities beginning to take precedence over long accepted disabilities.
