Pony Riding with Aiming High

Aiming High for Disabled Children offers short break activities for disabled children and young people. It gives them the opportunity to spend time with their peers and opportunities to try out new things, both with and without their families. Each local authority area has its own Aiming High Scheme.

One of George’s favourite activities with Aiming High is pony riding. In our local authority area this is an activity that is offered for one afternoon per month and is always George’s first choice of activities when we look in the Aiming High brochure.

In addition to pony riding he’s also been trampolining, although he no longer does that as it causes him joint pain. He’s also been on different day trips and out for social evenings and meals, with his peers.

We think Aiming High is a fantastic scheme because it gives George the opportunity to do activities, with adult support, that other young people of his age could do on their own.
