What the petition asks

We fully support the government to control the covid virus.
However some businesses, like riding schools are covid secure, outdoor facilities and have posed a lower risk to clients than those using public parks and the sport has been fundamental in supporting mental health In people of all ages.

We want riding schools and other covid secure Sport facilities to remain open in high tiers and local lockdowns as Many many clients are relying on this sport for themselves or their children or both and there is also an additional onus on our ponies health Fitness. The riding school horses depend on the school to generate exercise and to feed them
“As a single parent with six children “riding weekly has promoted a sense of belonging and given safe mental stimulus at a time when life is hard”
