Lake District Calvert Trust

Our stables are fully accessible for a wide range of abilities, with British Horse Society and Riding for the Disabled Association qualified instructors. The facilities themselves are purpose built with indoor and outdoor arenas, viewing gallery, state of the art lifts and electronic hoists. For those unable to ride, we have adapted wheelchair accessible traps. Please note there is a weight limit of 83kg (13 stone) for horse riders and 114kg (18 stone) for trap drivers (including weight of wheelchair if used). Electric powered wheelchairs are not permitted on the traps, but a basic manual wheelchair can be provided. The majority of riders and drivers are attending an activity break at the main centre, but we also cater for local people with disabilities and community riders, plus (subject to availability) visitors to the Lake District with a disability.
