Usually in school or in clubs, children cannot ride a horse. But in Brixton, south London, there (be) a special club. There students are welcome (ride) a horse.
The Ebony Horse Club is riding school for children from poor families. It (begin) in 2011. Now, the club provides 140 rides per week for children. A four-day riding trip in Wales costs £70 per person, but horse riding lessons at the club are only £7 for children. This is a lot cheaper.
Naomi is also a horse riding teacher. She spends two days a week (look)after the stables (马厩)and giving the children riding lessons. "I teach (they) how to tell if a horse is feeling happy or sad, how to walk up to a horse safely and how to build a good relationship with the horses." "Anyone over 12 can be a young volunteer here," says Naomi. "Working here helps children their horseback riding and life skills."
12-year-old Omari is a member of the club. "The lessons have taught me a lot. They've taught me to be caring, kind, and to be ourselves around horses," he says. Shaddal Mcleod is one of the club's youngest riders. The 9-year-old boy often rides after school. On Sundays, he likes coming to the club to look after the horses and clean the stables. (He) sister Zion is 13 years old. She works as hard him. She says she is (luck) to be a member of the club.
