A charity dedicated to improving the mental health of farmers and other rural workers is £1,500 better off thanks to an equestrian charity day. Judith Barker, a professional trainer and competitor, hosted the special event for YANA (You are Not Alone) at Lime Kiln Farm in Thursford. It saw 22 local riders of mixed abilities - who brought their own horses - take part in a challenging day of training. They were given extensive tips and technical guidance to help improve their techniques, all while negotiating Lime Kiln Farm’s arena eventing course.
