EQUESTRIAN-DRESSAGE-CHARITY-DISABLED

A young pupil from Clarendon Primary School is helped aboard a horse before setting out on a ride at Park Lane Stables RDA during a media day in Teddington, southwest London on October 23, 2024. Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) "transformed" Natasha Baker's life she told AFP teaching her "the tricks of the trade" that has led her to become one of the greatest Paralympic dressage riders of all time. Baker was speaking as she put some young riders through their paces at Park Lane Stables RDA in the leafy London suburb of Teddington. It is one of 450 spread across the United Kingdom, Park Lane being titled 'ponies on pavements' by the charity's patron Princess Anne. RDA was announced as the Official Charity for 2024 London International Horse Show which runs from December 18-22. (Photo by Adrian DENNIS / AFP) (Photo by ADRIAN DENNIS/AFP via Getty Images)
