Elisabeth Svendsen Trust

EST Leeds is situated on the outskirts of the city in the beautiful area of Eccup. It boasts its own unique woodland walk for the children in addition to its riding arena. It was officially opened on Tuesday 29th September 1999 by Dame Thora Hird, who has sadly passed away since, and in the company of Councillor Denise Atkinson.

Between 130 and 150 children with special needs and disabilities from 20 local schools in the city and surrounding areas benefit from donkey riding therapy at this centre each week.
