What all climbing aids have in common is that they reduce the one-sided stress on the horse when climbing and are therefore not only useful for riders, but also for horses. There are different variants of climbing aids, such as a wooden platform, a fold-out step in the riding hall gang , a riding stone or metal cleaning boxes, which not only hold the cleaning equipment , but are also stable enough to serve as a climbing aid. More massive versions are bricked, like the Quaker meeting house in Crawley . In this case, the climbing aid was set up in the 18th century for the believers in the Friends Meeting Housegot together. The building with the three stone steps sits on a brick base and includes a small storage room under the lintel.
