At present we only have facilities in our indoor arena for mounting wheelchair users and people with ambulatory difficulties.
The outdoor ramp will provide a fully inclusive facility, giving our riders independence of choice, offered to all other riders, and more privacy on competition days. Riders will be able to mount outdoors and use the outdoor arena as a warming up/collecting ring when they compete and they could use the outdoor arena for schooling and private lessons on their own horses and with their own coach - an option that has not been possible due to the lack of a mounting ramp. It will also enable us to deliver lessons in both arenas simultaneously.
