Today, we said a sad farewell to Wendy Miller, founder and the driving force behind Special Olympics East Midlands Equestrian. Through Wendy’s determination, many riders with learning disabilities in the East Midlands have had the chance to compete in Special Olympics Equestrian Competitions both regionally and nationally.

The Special Olympics East Midlands Equestrian group is now well established and will continue to provide riding opportunities, but we will always remember Wendy who made this possible.

What a fantastic Special Olympics Competition today at Scropton Horse Centre. Twenty four riders took part from across the east Midlands including 8 riders from Scropton Horse Centre.

The weather was amazing & everyone had a great time. Watch out for some action shots being posted soon, but in the meantime we just wanted to say well done to all our riders, and a big thank you to all the volunteers & staff from the centre who made it all possible - that's everyone on the photo and more besides who weren't there when we had the camera ready!

Great teamwork everyone!

Special thanks to Nigel Kirby Photography for the great pic!
