ABOUT 900 students from 30 Special Education schools around the Klang Valley, will benefit from the free service of the Equestrian Therapy Centre, organised by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the centre, in operation at the Titiwangsa Lake Gardens Recreation Equestrian Unit since 2013, was an initiative to help children with disabilities undergo rehabilitation through equestrian therapy based on sports, education and treatment.
