JOHN Lawlor of the Clane Riding for the Disabled Association has been named the RDAI Rider of the Year at the organisation’s annual general meeting and national conference.

Lawlor, who was born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, has never allowed his health issues to stop him enjoying life, as the judges found out when reading his entry.
