Members of a Lichfield group for people living with dementia have enjoyed a special day out.

The Lichfield Memory Cafe visited the Gartmore Riding School for a Tea With A Pony morning.

Organised in partnership with the Riding for Disabled Association, the event highlighted the value of equine therapy.

A spokesperson said:

> “Activities such as grooming, feeding and meeting horses has been shown to improve the mood of people living with dementia.  
>  
> “As well as being a new experience for many people, the warmth and trust of an animal has a positive effect on our wellbeing.  
>  
> “Thank you to Gartmore Riding School and the Riding for the Disabled Association for arranging this wonderful event.”
