Dame Judi Dench gives smiles all around at East Park Riding for the Disabled Group, Lingfield

Dame Judi Dench, patron of East Park Riding for the Disabled group, at Little Brook Riding Centre, Lingfield, was given a special treat at their recent Open Day with a musical ride display from the RDA children of St Stephen’s School, South Godstone.

There was also a dressage and show jumping demonstration from Paralympic hopeful, Simon Blight, who was showing off two of his horses (Don Rico and Quizz respectively) which he hopes will get him to the Olympics in Rio in 2016.

Dame Judi enjoyed giving the riders rosettes and medals for the fabulous display and was also on hand to give other annual prizes to riders and volunteers at the group.
