        Overview

        At the National Equestrian Centre at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire Pat Eaglestone finds out about a positive story of independence. The American show jumper Warren Wofford is on hand to explain how groups of local children with disabilities have been taking riding lessons. Local owners of small ponies (of the "bomb proof" variety according to Wofford) have been queuing up to supply their animals. The reaction of the children to this small step in independence is palpable.
