Ponies clip-clopped through Stratford on 1.8.13 as Central Taranaki Riding for the Disabled tried to raise its profile in the community.
Money and volunteers are sought by the non-profit group to run the organisation and provide children with longer riding lessons, president Sarah Collier said.
The organisation's National Awareness Week is now on.
"Our riding classes are currently half an hour every Thursday, but we're hoping to have it on Fridays as well and bring the sessions up to 45 minutes.
"We need volunteers for it to happen," Ms Collier said.
"With longer lessons, children will have the chance to groom their horse, and lead it back to the stable.
"We have about 10 regular volunteers with us at the moment, but need more."
Ms Collier said riding improves the children's balance and co- ordination, and their interaction with the horses teaches them respect for animals.
"Some love to cuddle the horses, and there are some who were initially afraid of these large animals, but they learn to get over the fear," she said.
Extra funds in the kitty would also mean the organisation could buy new horses when they retire their older ones.
"Some [horses] are donated which is good, but it costs between $4000 to $5000 for one and we have three which are in their 20s and last year we retired one in its 30s," Ms Collier said.
A Melbourne Cup themed dinner fundraiser is being held at TET MultiSports Centre on November 5. Tickets are $50.

Brooklyns Reading Recovery Progress.

Last week on Friday I finished my final assessment on the story Animal Cannibals.  Today I picked out a book called Deadly Snakes.  Donna and I discussed what the book may be about, I think it's about snakes that kill animals and people, and how they do it.  Now I read and listen to the story on the I pod shuffle.

I've just reached my 80 books, my goal is to reach 100 books, because at 100  I get to pick  2 things from the goodie box.
