Ms Hewitson said: “Pebbles gains fun, achievement and therapy at riding sessions.
“She has the most amazing smile that can be seen when she’s riding, showing just how much she loves the sport.
“She shows such independence when mounting from the hydraulic platform and then sits up so well and is so determined to give her best during her riding sessions.”
