Martin Adopts Marmite

Martin takes the reins to drive Marmite with Denise teaching him.

Martin gets the attention of The Daily Echo, our local newspaper. This is a magnificent gesture by a willing volunteer who was invited to meet the Prime Minister in No. 10 Downing Street (see blog in December - A Day With Martin Hiscocks In London).

Martin is a popular member of our group who cheerfully helps in all sorts of ways, from sweeping out stables, grooming the horses (his favourite, need I say, is Marmite!), cleaning harness and general tasks that help the smooth running of the yard. He's a real rock!

Adopting or sponsoring a horse is a wonderful way to help a group like ours. Martin knows that the money from his savings is helping to feed and keep his mate Marmite.

Whenever there is spare slot in the driving or riding schedule he gets the chance of a ride in the carriage drawn by Marmite or a ride on a riding day. Since he works at the stables four days a week he can take advantage of these opportunities, and he loves it.
