Rayna runs a Riding for the Disabled group at Crofton Manor Equestrian Centre, which is located near Stubbington Hampshire. The group is called Tradissar RDA. Her speciality is of course teaching disabled riders sidesaddle. She still has all her costumes but doesn't compete any longer. She is still riding though.<br /><br />I am going o send a link to this post, as I am sure she will be delighted to see your comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533706630841572685.post-73117329909974972422011-07-17T21:19:33.824-05:002011-07-17T21:19:33.824-05:00I find really interesting the fact that in many wa...I find really interesting the fact that in many ways, she was the perfect person to take up this sport - already a talented equestrienne, City & Guilds degree in fashion and design, a disability that made astride impossible... yet it was chance/luck that led her to sidesaddle. So many people don't even know sidesaddle exists as an option, let alone consider it as a good choice for them.Hayleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533706630841572685.post-17448346344404494922011-07-14T15:45:29.545-05:002011-07-14T15:45:29.545-05:00Wow!
