    My daughter had a wonderful morning out with Simon and his pony Obama. Simon has a trap to which her wheelchair was fixed and off they went. For the first time since she was a small child she was on the sand and even into the water and she absolutely loved it! This was arranged with PAMIS and St. Andrews tourist board but Simon can be contacted through the Website below https://ponyaxes.com/ also pony axe s on Facebook

Simon brought the pony and trap right up to the edge of the beach to attach the wheelchair so there was no sinking into the soft sand. But this was simply the chosen venue on that particular day
