Dorothy is a volunteer in our Teen and Young Adult riding therapy sessions on Wednesday evenings. Read on to find out her volunteering story, and how she has incorporated her support of Muirfield Riding Therapy into her working life too.
“When my riding stables closed down I was sporadically offered the odd hack but was seriously suffering pony withdrawal. Muirfield Riding Therapy had been mentioned previously, and I checked out which sessions were possible. I’m not sure if I was meant to go through some more formal process but I simply turned up one Wednesday evening, offered my services and have been here ever since.
My day job, as a solicitor, is pretty full on sometimes and takes up a lot of head space. I love knowing that on a Wednesday evening, for a few hours, that will be replaced by all things horse.
Although I have been in and around riding stables since childhood this is a very different experience. The participants have taught me so much and it is amazing to see their progress. The ponies are remarkable in every sense and I will never stop being in awe of their patience and good nature. And I have to give a shout out to my colleagues in the Wednesday evening session – we have good fun and they make even the coldest, darkest, wettest of nights go by quickly. And often there is cake.
