Representation Summary:
We support the development of Pebsham country park and the equestrian facilities planned there. Consideration should be given to safe access links for all users including equestrians from the town outskirts. Support increased take up of sports such as horse riding by liasing with the two local riding schools. Interaction with horses is of proven benefit to children with disabilities, both mentally & physically, or who have been disadvantaged & may be suffer from poor self esteem. Teenage girls who are particularly difficult to engage in sports are more likely to participate in equestrian activity.
