Equestrian Employer Details
Chariots of Fire was established as a carriage driving centre 22 years ago by the late Amanda Saville. It became a social enterprise (CIC) following her death in 2016 offering riding and driving activities. The centre is now managed by the small, experienced staff team, some of whom have over 10 years service and a raft of National Championship titles in carriage driving. We specialise in therapeutic equine activities for clients affected by disability or additional needs, including complex needs. The centre offers a full range of equestrian activities; individual riding or carriage driving lessons, group sessions, stable management, equine therapy, competitive opportunities, training, work experience and volunteering experiences. Some of our competitive clients have achieved national carriage driving titles.
