Princess Anne, who is the patron of the Riding for the Disabled Association, and an accomplished horsewoman, is keen to support such facilities and services. She toured the £500,000 facility, which provides rehabilitation and therapy for those with learning or physical disabilities.

It will provide treatment for long-term conditions as well as resources to encourage healthy living. The Princess also attended the Preston North End Ball after the opening.
