COFFEE MORNING

A big thankyou to everyone who came to the coffee morning and made it a successful day.  We raised £1336.68 including the raffle tickets, which is a great result.  We'd also like to thank all those who made this possible by contributing baking and other goods to sell.

PONY UPDATE

 

Max is the latest addition to the stable, seen here with Katie when he was being tried out. He is about 13.1 hh. seven years old, and is being introduced gently to  RDA work here.  So far he seems to have taken everything in his stride, so with some more training over the winter we hope he will be ready to start full time in the spring.  Ellie has gone back to Elinor so we are back to our usual number of 8 ponies.



GOOD START TO OCTOBER!

 

Last week we got a cheque for £141 from Forfar Golf Club, presented by Judith who used to teach at the Centre, and another from the Rotary Club of Forfar for £250.  Thanks to both Groups for this.

OCTOBER PERFORMANCE

Riders of the Storm are going to be back with us at the Centre on 31st October, with a peformance called "The Professor's Revenge". Doors open at 6.30, and if you would like to buy tickets, go to their website, www.ridersofthestorm.co.uk.  One of our previous ponies, Banjo, may make an appearance!

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! 

JOHNSTON CARMICHAEL DONATION

Elinor accepting a donation of £521.55 from our treasurer Lynne and the staff of Johnston Carmichael.  Thanks to all concerned in raising this!

LADBROKE'S DONATION

Ladbrokes of Forfar presented us with a wonderful cheque for  £2000 .  Their fund-raising efforts included a Ben Nevis climb, raffle and in-shop activities.  Thanks to all those who took part!
