'We're hoping people get the bug for horses'

Available for over a year

Young people in Leicester, who may never have had the chance to see a horse, have now been able to thanks to a project run by the Urban Equestrian organisation. Founder Freedom Zampaladous took horses to the African Caribbean Centre in Highfields to introduce young people to animals they might never normally get the chance to meet. It was all part of National Racehorse Week and our BBC Leicester reporter Kevin Ncube went along.
