Haworth Riding for Disabled has received a £1,000 boost.

The group has been presented with the cash by Riddlesden Gala.

Jackie Butterfield, secretary of Haworth Riding for Disabled, is seen receiving a cheque from Kath Bottomley, centre left, from Riddlesden Gala committee Jackie said: "We now have more than 130 members and up to nine horses and the money will help pay for new tack. We are extremely grateful for the donation.

"At present the school is closed for the winter but sessions will begin again at the end of March. We are hoping to get planning permission for an indoor facility so that in future we can continue all year round."

The latest donation forms half the proceeds from last June's Riddlesden Gala - the other half is going to Keighley Kiddicare.

Gala committee chairman Geoffrey Baldwin said: "We always try to choose a charity that benefits children and ideally one from which Riddlesden youngsters could benefit. Haworth Riding for Disabled is an excellent cause and a couple of children from Riddlesden attend."
