I have been riding horses since I was 12 years old. I volunteer at Park Lane Stables for 3 days a week and I really like it because I feel comfortable here. I like the thrill of riding – horses make me feel welcome, calm and confident. I have my Stage 1 Diploma and a gold award for vaulting. I am now starting my BHS Stage 2 and want to learn carriage driving. I have autism and I want to be a role model for other people with disabilities.

Hi, I’m Lucy and I have been at Park Lane Stables since 2014. I love Park Lane because everyone is so friendly and kind here, it feels like one big family! I used to loan the lovely Jay and I am now lucky enough to loan Frenchie. We do jumping as well as dressage and we have started endurance riding together.

Lottie has been coming to Park Lane since 2009.

Tom learnt to ride at Park Lane Stables many moons ago with Marc and Claire Dailly. He was thrilled when Park Lane reopened in 2008 and has been with us ever since. Tom is a keen pony club member and he loves all the horses equally. Tom volunteers on a Wednesday and works very hard with the rest of the team.

Emma has been coming to Park Lane since 2009 with her mum, Sarah. Together they loan Mini, seen here jumping with Emma.
