Riding for the Disabled at Oban

A joint project by Aggregate Industries (AI) and Argon Engineering has provided the opportunity for disabled adults and children to experience the joy of horse riding.

We were approached by AI in late 2016 and asked to provide our skills and expertise to assist them with their Care in the Community Programme.

This joint project has resulted in a new two level ramp being fitted and installed at  “Riding for the Disabled”, who are based at Glencrutten riding stables in Oban ,which will allow greater access for wheelchair users.

A big thank you to all the AI and AGZ Group employees who very kindly gave up their free time to make this project happen.
