Maia and Jazz

Her face lights up with pure love and joy when she sees Jazz coming into the arena.

Maia is medically fragile, highly dependent and autistic. She loves animals, and since she started at RDA she has fallen in love with Jazz.

She looks for Jazz as soon as they arrive, calling her name and jumping with excitement. Maia loves walking Jazz around the arena, brushing her and playing with her mane. They stand in front of the mirror together, admiring themselves.

"Every child is treated with dignity, respect and equality. I cannot speak more highly of the programme, the staff and of course the beautiful horses."
