Our former trustee and friend of Dressability Andy Stevenson has been reporting on the 2021 Olympic Games for BBC Radio 5 Live and proves yet again that Andy knows no bounds when it comes to disability – he thinks he must be the first person to use Tieline ViA using only his feet!
Andy will also be reporting on the Paralympic Games, so keep an ear to the radio.
Well done Andy and keep up the good work!
However, the new September term will be here before you know it!
