I enjoy coming on Tuesdays in ladies group, we are all working together in the group at all different levels but you are all part of it. My son also comes on Thursdays, he absolutely loves it. He needs extra help as there is quite a lot of things he cant do, ans hes smile just lights up when he is on those ponys. This is the best place to go.
