Princess Anne has visited North Yorkshire to help Bedale Riding for the Disabled Group celebrate its 25th Anniversary.
Her Royal Highness is president of the Riding for the Disabled Association which has 500 groups around the UK, helping 28,000 people each year.
The Bedale Group is entirely run by volunteers and gives horse riding lessons to people with disabilities every Thursday morning at a riding school in Catterick Garrison.
The Group Chairman says the lessons help riders in many ways.
