Garioch Carriage Driving for Disabled Group

We have all been enjoying the mild weather during the driving season this year. Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers and participants for their continued support.

 

This year started with an incredibly sad farewell to Prince, who has been with us for so many years doing an amazing job looking after all our participants. I'm sure that everyone has fond memories of him and he will be missed.

 

This year Indi has been having tendon issues but luckily Team Strathorn have managed to step in and assist. Clydesdale, Collessie King Edward kindly driven by Ruth Skinner has been keeping everyone happy with some leisure drives in the covered wagon.

 

Thankfully in Spring, with the support of some amazing organisations, we managed to secure a new pony called Tommy to take over the reins from Prince. Since arriving he has been in training and has adapted very well to his new home.

 

With the gap now left by Indi, the Team here at Garioch has managed to secure a second pony called Barney! Barney should arrive mid November and he will be getting trained over winter. We are hoping that both ponies will be assessed ready for next year. This will secure the future of the group for the many years to come!

​

We are now on winter break but will keep everyone up to date with any plans for winter get togethers!
