With help from a local fishmongers, children from Kirk Michael Primary School have helped save a horse riding centre.
Scales Fishmongers in Ramsey challenged the pupils to paint a giant planter to go outside the shop.
The children had a brilliant time bringing the big fish back to life and renamed him, Tobias.
The Ramsey business donated money to the school and the pupils help toward the ‘Save Clwyd’ mission.
The riding centre, which Riding for the Disabled Isle of Man use frequently, was in jeopardy due to lack of funding over the past few years.
Save Riding School
Four children from Kirk Michael Primary school joined volunteers from the RDA for their annual trip to Clwyd Special Riding Centre in June this year.
Kirk Michael Primary School Head Mistress, Karen Riley said: “We are incredibly proud of our artists in school for taking on this challenge and Tobias looks marvellous! Our children benefited so much from their trip to Wales with RDA and we will be forever grateful.”
Scales owner Arran Phillips added: “The team and I are delighted with Tobias and are so glad the children enjoyed their challenge.
“Choosing to donate towards the riding centre is such a lovely gesture as they spoke so emotionally of their time there when we picked him up.”
