DOCUMENTARY: Beyond The Impossible – Horse Therapy And Cerebral Palsy

Screen-Shot-2015.32

This year, Rife magazine teamed up with BFI Film Academy’s 2015 class of documentary makers to create four films about life for young people in Bristol.

We head to Shipham Riding School to meet Winnie, who lives with cerebral palsy. As part of her physical therapy, she rides horses, which helps her to strengthen and control her muscles.
