A unique equestrian education course, set-up by a Glasgow police officer, is proving to be life changing for a group of East End secondary pupils.
A group of 22 pupils from S3 and S4 at five secondary schools have been taking part in a project established by Sergeant Lauren Semple, who works in Shettleston and is a keen horsewoman.
Lauren, who has 18 years’ police service, applied for funding from the Scottish Racing Academy, which she has volunteered with for four years.
The course, which focuses on equine care and stable management, culminates in a Scottish Qualification Authority award, offering potential career opportunities in the coming years.
