## Resource

Pippa and Tristan are joined by a true powerhouse of the equine world this week. If you don't know Nat's story - then you really should! From being fired because of her passion for horses to raising over £1 million in a national campaign to save her riding school, Natalie O’Rourke MBE has one of the most remarkable stories in grassroots equestrian sport. As the founder of Park Lane Stables in South London, she has built a community where horses help children and adults with disabilities develop confidence, independence and joy through her long association with the RDA. When the stables faced sudden closure in 2021, Natalie and her volunteers launched an extraordinary fundraising effort that captured the public’s imagination. The campaign secured the future of the centre and the thousands of families it supports each year, earning Natalie an MBE and The Sunday Times Grassroots Sportswoman of the Year along the way. Plus Pippa and Tristan are dallying with AI once again! Details of Park Lane Stables can be found here - https://www.parklanestables.co.uk/ We love hearing from you.
