During her visit the Lord-Lieutenant met the current intake of students from HTP Apprenticeship College and watched a short demonstration performed by some of the students under the excellent stewardship of their tutor and instructor Jo Hogan.

The study centre is already proving popular and hosts weekly sessions for school excluded children in conjunction with the Isle of Wight Council and SCOPE who are able to take advantage of the centre’s Changing Places WC right next door.

Football freestyle comes to the IRC

Legendary YouTube vlogger and 5 x World record holder and football freestyler Daniel Cutting came to stay with us at Island Riding Centre in June.

Hoping to make a sun-kissed video on Appley Beach in Ryde – the home of Isle of Wight Beach Soccer – the British weather took hold and Daniel and his friends took the sensible option and came inside for an impromptu 5-a-side football game in our indoor arena.

See how they got on here

Whilst visiting Daniel was kind enough to take time out and meet some of his 600,000 YouTube followers and even give them some tips on how to follow in his footsteps!
