Elisabeth Svendsen TrustIvybridge
Officially opened on Friday 29th June 2007, we are situated in Filham Park, an established popular amenity for the local community in Ivybridge. Set in the beautiful Devon countryside, our centre is easily accessible, enabling us to provide donkey riding therapy for special needs children throughout the south-west areas of the country.
Around 150 children with special needs and disabilities from 30 local schools in the city and surrounding areas benefit from donkey riding therapy at this Centre each week.
Boomer's Back!
Hello my friends, sorry it has been a while – I’ve had a rather bumpy ride since my last blog!
At the beginning if the year life at EST Ivybridge was great as usual – working in the arena with the children, carting and relaxing with my mates. But, in April whilst playing in the field with the others, I over-did it a bit and really hurt my left foreleg. Guess these days I’m not as young as I feel!
