7. Perry is a local Riding for the Disabled group based near Shrewsbury. Perry RDA have a problem!

8. Perry RDA have an outdoor arena • When it rains there is no riding • Every year up to 60% of lessons are cancelled

9. The Perry group wants to build an indoor arena so the children can ride and carriage drive even when it rains. It will be called the Cavalier Centre. • Indoor and outdoor arenas, a carriage driving track, and • Mechanical horse and special mounting equipment
