Work Experience for School Sudents

Lauren, seen holding Marmite, and Kayleigh, are two girls from local schools undertaking two weeks work experience with us at the Ash Tree Stables. Both girls picked up the work very quickly and are a tremendous asset to us. Marmite acquired a fancy hair-do on this occasion whilst we were waiting for our disabled drivers to arrive!!

Every one of the students who have come to us for work experience have enjoyed their time with us, and we hope to see them coming back to us occasionally in their holidays. There is always work that they can do, and enjoy themselves at the same time.

For participants in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme, time spent helping with RDA on a regular basis qualifies for the Service element of the award.
Students planning a career in the caring professions will find that experience as an RDA helper is highly valued by admissions tutors and potential employers.

The students not only learn about horse care and carriage driving but they learn all about disability and to interact with people with a range of disabilities. We encourage disabiliy equality and therefore have disabled people working in the yard.
