Usually in school or in
clubs, children are told
not to horse around – horsing around means to act badly. But in south London, there is a club that
loves it when students horse around.
The Ebony Horse Club is a riding school for children from poor families. General Manager Naomi Howgate runs the team that operates the school. With the help of volunteers, they give about 140 rides each week to children. They teach not only horseback riding but also important life skills.
