What is Equibuddy?
Equibuddy grew out of the combined passions, skills, knowledge and experience of Jenny Leggate and Rebecca Morgan. Both bring their vaulting expertise, their eye for a horse and their knowledge of training of both horses and humans to working with people with special needs. The synergy with the Lauderdale Vaulting Group completes the training circle and together they will train RDA horses and help children and young people realise their dream.
“The horse allows ordinary people to do extraordinary things whilst challenging the senses, heightening awareness and giving pleasure”. William Micklem FBHS
