Jenny came to us having completely lost the ability to balance, walk or talk. She started whilst still in hospital, with only about 5 mins on a horse, but this was a powerful part of here recovery, as riding horses was a big part of her identity. Over many years Jenny worked hard with the group, and got stronger and stronger. From having 3 helpers (a leader and 2 side helpers) she went on to ride independently. Jenny always enjoyed a challenge when it came to horses, so RDA has been the best possible therapy for her! She got to the point that she could start competing, and took part in a big display at the Bath & West show, loving the fact that her horse was being a bit 'naughty'!

Jenny started with Burcott RDA following a tragic accident whilst point-2-pointing at Larkhill. She was a champion lady jockey - following her accident, and resultant brain damage, she was in a coma for 3 months. Jenny came to us having completely lost the ability to balance, walk or talk.

Currently Jenny is doing carriage driving because Burcott RDA no longer has a horse that is suitable she is doing well, and horses will never not be a part of Jenny's life!!
