Residents at Kiwi House Care Home in Alvaston, Derby, could be found ‘horsing-around’ on a residents-chosen day trip to Wenlo RDA (Riding for the disabled).
Among the resident was Joyce Fearn (81), who enjoyed many years as a passionate horse rider in her youth. Joyce’s family owned horses during her childhood and adolescence and now living at Kiwi House Care Home, she told the activities coordinator “my wish has always been to be around horses again.”
