FEI President, HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein visited Somerby Equestrian Centre, Leicestershire and the International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH) headquarters, Norfolk on Saturday, 24^th  February. Somerby Equestrian Centre runs one of many Pony Club Centre Membership programmes, designed for children who do not own their own pony but would like to become involved in Pony Club activities and do so through their local riding school.  The scheme was instigated in 1998 and in 2005 received substantial funding from Sport England as part of a joint initiative with the British Equestrian Federation to improve participation. During her visit Princess Haya also visited the ILPH Headquarters in Norfolk.  During a tour of the facilities at Hall Farm the party had the opportunity to meet horses currently undergoing rehabilitation and find out more about the work of the ILPH both in the UK and overseas.
