Riding for the Disabled South Australia

Riding for the Disabled is a fantastic program that supports riders with a disability, from the ages of 3 and up. Dog behaviourist and dog trainer, Lara Shannon, talks to Amber Pyle, the Operations Manager of Riding for the Disabled, South Australia to find out all about the wonderful work they do.
