🎥 Meet Georgina,

💙 Her mission? To make horses accessible to everyone, especially those who might not have the chance otherwise. She works with participants from day one, all the way through to mastering advanced riding skills or even stepping into a career.

At Summerfield Stables, everyone—riders, volunteers, and staff—gets access to training and opportunities to grow.

💡 How can your centre help open doors for more people and develop their potential?
