Horse & Hound Trending: Library image A fundraising page has been set up in an attempt to help desperate riding schools survive the next month. The Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS) wants to raise as much as possible, to get yards through to 29 March, when they can give lessons again. H&H has reported on the struggles faced by riding schools in this third national lockdown, with all the normal winter costs of keeping horses, no income and very little financial support. ABRS trustee George Baber told H&H it is clear there are a number of riding schools “on the brink of closure”, and that between 10 and 20% of its school members have closed in the past year.
