RESIDENTS at Carinya Home for the Aged were treated to a horse and carriage ride around the residence on Friday, with new wheelchair accessibility allowing all residents to give it a go.

The facility has had the horse and carriage rides in the past, but thanks to help of local volunteers, they have reconstructed the carriage to allow for wheelchair access.
“It’s really inclusive for the residents now that we can get wheelchair bound residents and free-standing residents into carriage to enjoy themselves and not worry about being restricted,” activities co-ordinator Leesa Hart said.
