Quest Riding for the Disabled Purchase New Horses From a £5,000 Grant from Wooden Spoon Surrey

Surrey

The purchase of horses at Quest Riding for the Disabled, a Health & Wellbeing project, in Surrey, has been awarded a grant of £5,000. This project, aimed at improving access to therapeutic equestrian programmes for children and adults with a wide range of needs, is set to have a significant impact on the local community. This project supports the ongoing mission of Quest to provide meaningful, supportive experiences that enhance the lives of participants through horse-based activities.

Quest Riding for the Disabled enables children, adults, and volunteers to enjoy and achieve personal goals through participation in sporting and therapeutic equestrian programmes. Delivered in a safe and nurturing environment, the activities lead to improved confidence, independence, and overall quality of life.

This new health and wellbeing project, which is set to open soon, provides an inclusive and structured environment designed to help individuals grow in confidence, build physical strength, and enjoy the social benefits of shared experiences.

This project was generously funded by a Wooden Spoon Charity grant. Wooden Spoon supports Quest’s dedication to creating environments of empowerment and wellbeing that foster personal growth and positive change.
