• From the beginning, riders learn balance, coordination and self-assurance while receiving therapeutic muscle stimulation.
  
• As a result of carefully planned lessons, poise posture, strength and flexibility improve.
  
• A strong sense of responsibility develops as the rider learns to take part in the care of the horses and equipment.
  
• Equestrian skills, teamwork and cooperation are learned as the rider becomes more independent on horseback.
  
• Classes, horse shows and events encourage confidence, self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment as new levels of expertise and new goals are met.
  

Throughout its history the group has been fortunate enough to receive tremendous support from those who live and work in East Lothian area. It was this kind of support, together with the group's own fundraising efforts and finally National Lottery Funding (Sportscotland and the Community Fund) that the Group was able,to build a wonderful indoor riding arena. This very special facility was opened officially on 22nd May 2003 by HRH The Princess Royal. Now the riding sessions can be held throughout the year regardless of the weather; sessions can be held in the evenings and training days for helpers can be held on a regular basis.
