‘I believe in Horses, I believe in Hope, I believe in Research’ is the message that Spinal Research is launching this month as part of their ongoing campaign to fight paralysis.
The charity funds groundbreaking research to find an effective treatment for paralysis caused by a broken back or neck. Too many riders, both amateur and professional, are paralysed each year as a result of a riding accident. The charity is therefore appealing to equestrian enthusiasts, riding clubs, Pony Clubs, riding schools, equestrian centres and livery yards to support this campaign by organising an event such as a coffee morning or quiz night, or by adding a charitable donation to an entry form for a show that they are running. Many top riders from the equestrian world have pledged their support, including Nick Skelton, Mary King, Billy Twomey, Francis Whittington and Andrew Gould. To register your event at www.spinal-research.org or telephone 01483 898786 and a fundraising pack will be sent out to you.
