Heather was born virtually without arms or legs due to the effect of the Thalidomide drug. Having ridden as a child, she soon realised (having spent more time underneath the pony than on top) that carriage driving with the RDA was the way forward.  She now competes with her beloved Irish Cob x Trotter "Barney" at Club and National Level and has represented Great Britain Individually at both Greven at the World Championships in 2002 and also at Hopetoun in 2004. In her quest for selection Heather is supported by Debbie Dale (groom) and the Poulter family. 

 Terry a natural all round sportsman, suffered a tumour on the spine leaving him paralysed from the chest down. In 2006 after only 3 years of driving experience he swept the board at the National Novice Single Pony events and was also a member of the British Silver Medal Winning Team in Hellendoorn. 

In 2008 driving his partner and support team, Rowena Coldwell’s Welsh Cob Megan he was the highest placed British Driver at the Greven World Championships.  Terry was subsequently awarded the South Derbyshire Senior Sports award in 2009.

Margaret was born with abnormalities of the lower spine and limbs but has let nothing get in her way. An active rider with the Annandale and Eskdale RDA she was introduced to driving as a teenager and has since gone from strength to strength. It was as a result of watching the World Championships at Hopetoun in 2004 that she aspired to drive for her country.  With the back up of Catriona Murray she competed with Catriona's tandem pony Tartan at club events all over Scotland.  In 2008 driving her own Welsh Cob - Baz she was selected for the British Team at the World Championships in Greven and went on to win the Cones discipline.   In 2008 she won the Annandale and Eskdale’s Sports Personality of the Year Award. 

 She is supported by her husband and daughter Hannah.

Lindsey, was paralysed down her right side as a result of a road accident at the age of four and despite the advice of her doctors she was determined to continue to ride. She took up driving when she was 14 and experienced the thrill and adrenalin rush and has never looked back. She has significant driving experience to fall back on, having represented Great Britain six times including the First World Championships at Wolfsburg in 1998. She has twice been a member of the GB Silver Medal winning team and will again be partnering her own Welsh Cob Jack. In 2007 she was voted Inspirational Sports Person of the year in the Norfolk Sports Awards and subsequently appointed as Patron of Norfolk Disability Sports
