RDA SEPTEMBER SHOW

 

Joanne's show went ahead yesterday and some of the RDA ponies were competing too, getting rosettes for their riders.  The weather helped to make it a good day for everyone who came, although the turnout was not as good as last time.  It raised a total of £445.18 - very useful!

HORSE AND PONY NEWS

We now have Ellie with us, very kindly leant by Elinor, as Tucker is having a break for a while to see if he settles in better in a few months' time.  Katie is looking after him and riding him out for the moment.
Ellie is 16 years old, Friesian x Oldenburg, and is already taking part in some classes.

AUGUST NEWS

AUGUST NEWS

The ponies have all had a good summer holiday and will be ready to return to work when classes start again next week.

Joanne’s show this year is on September 21st.   There will be all the usual classes, and refreshments available as well.  Further details can be obtained from Joanne.

We are very fortunate to have been left a  legacy from Aprilla Gilfrin, a friend of our President, Jean Thomson.  Aprilla met Erin, one of our horses,  when Aprilla came to stay with Jean for a holiday, and she used to sponsor Erin  every year.  The directors will use the income from the legacy to help with running costs.
