Children aged five to 10 can ride attend free riding and pony care sessions
Children in Liverpool will be able to access free horse riding lessons at Aintree Racecourse this summer.
Park Palace Ponies has grown rapidly since being founded five and a half years ago by Bridget Griffin. She said: “After the success of the riding school 12 months ago, we’re absolutely delighted to be back at Aintree and even better than before. Opportunities like this are so important for local children and having catered for around 120 kids a week last year, we’re thrilled to be able to ramp that up this time around.
“There could be kids that ride here and go on and be jockeys, or even win the Grand National one day! There’s no reason why it can’t happen and we’re so thankful to Aintree and the Jockey Club for having us.” “Creating opportunities and giving people as many different perspectives as possible is what it’s all about. I’m testament to that, I never wanted to be a boxer and actually started out in football - I kind of fell into it and that was just because of an opportunity that I took.
Dickon White, Regional Director for The Jockey Club, added: “We’re thrilled to once again be teaming up with Park Palace Ponies, continuing what has become a fabulous relationship between the charity and Aintree Racecourse.
