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.”
