My Life Learning’s Chloe reaches the Riding for the Disabled National Championships!

We’re so proud of all our student and members’ achievements, so wanted to let you all know about My Life Learning student Chloe reaching the RDA National Championships, despite only beginning to ride three years ago!

A keen horsewoman, as well as riding as part of her curriculum at My Life Learning, Chloe rides at an RDA Centre and Special Olympics Club in Yorkshire.

Chloe prepared for the regional final using a set routine with her horse. However, in a test of real resilience, on the day she was surprised to discover that a different routine was needed! Despite only being able to practice this three times, Chloe still outperformed the other riders, shining in the arena and wining the regional championship!

Chloe’s mum Sue says: “I was so proud of her. She can be quite determined when she needs to be, she’ll give anything a try. Even if she’s scared at first, she’ll do it. Chloe loves everything about horses. She can be quite shy, but when she’s with the horses she interacts a lot more. Winning has really given her a confidence boost, she was so thrilled that she won.”

Chloe will be taking part in the RDA National Championships later this summer and we will all be rooting for her – Chloe, you are an inspiration!

We are setting up a Riding for the Disabled group and are looking for volunteers to be part of the committee. If you would like to join the committee and play a part in ensuring that many more people are given the opportunity to ride, like Chloe, please call 01257 472 900 or email info@my-life.org.uk.
