A RIDING for the Disabled group at Bradford on Avon is facing closure unless it can recruit a new group organiser.

Steve Ashton, whose son Darren attends the Saxon Group at Widbrook, says the centre also needs more volunteers to survive.

He said: “We need more volunteers, as we have a large waiting list, and not enough volunteers.

“We do have enough horses but some of our volunteers are becoming a little older.

“We also have a vacancy for a group organiser which has come about for personal/ health reasons.

“If we cannot fill this post we will have to close as it’s a legal requirement as a charity.”

Mr Ashton’s son Darren won the national RDA Rider of the Year Award last year and now hopes to gain a place in the British paralympic team.
