More than 80 riders got into the saddle at Avon Riding Centre for the Disabled when they took part in the world's biggest riding lesson.

Staff and volunteers at the Henbury complex joined children and adults with disabilities to help celebrate a landmark anniversary.

The Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) has reached its 40th anniversary and launched celebrations by getting as many people as possible to join in a lesson on the same day across the UK and overseas, regardless of their riding ability, with the aim to raise money for the RDA.

Kevin Hateley, its chief executive, said: "The whole day was fantastic and the kids especially loved it."
