“Our daughter is 6 years old. She has Cerebral Palsy and loves movement – swings, scooter boards, her specialist bike. She also loves music and books.
With her now being taller and older a lot of equipment is not available for her anymore. When she was tiny, we could get away with some high street options, but now she just misses out normally. It is heartbreaking to see when she can’t join in with her friends because of her physical limitations.
We saw a post of the Scoot Horse and it was Eureka moment! We trialled so many options over the last year, but it never worked – either our daughter was too big or too disabled. She used to have a little car, similar principle for scooting around the house, but she outgrew it.
I got in touch with the Cerebra Innovation Centre (CIC) and we were placed on the waiting list. And then – after a little wait – the horse showed up. Communicating with CIC is always just joyous – it is so rare for families like ours to encounter people that really care and just want to help.
The horse got a name immediately – James. He is supplied with apples throughout the day and stands next to her during dinner. He’s also in her room at night. We all had a go down the little wheelchair ramp and he brought so much joy and laughter.
We are beyond grateful. Please never stop the Innovation Centre!”
Our Innovation Centre
The Cerebra Innovation Centre designs and builds innovative, bespoke products to help disabled children discover and engage with the world around them.
From iPad cases to rocking horses, Oxy-Gems and surfboards, our award-winning team is brimming with ideas and solutions to help. We strongly believe our product should be desirable and exciting, not just functional. They should always promote a child’s social inclusion, peer expectance, and enable them to participate in everyday activities that are so often closed to them.
We developed the Scoot Horse for children who have grown taller and need something with a little more leg room while zooming around the house! Our Scoot Horse is simple to use and elegantly designed to have a playful, simple appearance. It features four castors for ease of movement and turning, whilst avoiding the use of complex features such as steering or pedals.
