AWAMO facilitated the donation of a specialised riding saddle from the USA’s Veterans Affairs Department. This saddle is the first of its kind in Australia and is designed for amputee riders, aiding Australian veterans and emergency service workers who have lost limbs.

• Why it Matters:
  • Several police officers and military veterans in Queensland, who were riders before injuries, can now learn to balance and ride again.
  • The saddle fosters physical and mental recovery, offering confidence and emotional healing through horseback riding.
