Equine student Talitha has reached the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) national finals after an amazing performance in the regional qualifiers.

The teenager will now travel to Hartpury College in July where she will compete against the country’s best disabled riders in a range of disciplines.

Equine Lecturer, Judith McCowie, said: “We are delighted that Talitha has qualified for the national championships. She has shown a huge improvement in her horse handling and riding skills, and her confidence has increased.
