Lambourn RDA operates it’s therapy sessions from Manor Farm Stables in Chilton Foliat, RG17 0TJ, however we request that all correspondence is sent to our registered address, Park Farm Lodge, Upper Lambourn, Hungerford, RG17 8RD.

We continue to be very busy with both riding and non-riding therapy sessions and it is great to see our participants having fun and learning new skills.

There have been quite a lot of changes to our equine team recently with the retirement of the gorgeous Harley, after being with us for five wonderful years. He was the perfect RDA horse, giving so many people the most amazing experiences and he will be remembered by all of us for a very, very long time. We sadly had to say goodbye to little Marmaduke who was suffering from very poor health and although small in stature, he has left a long lasting impression.

On a brighter note we have two new ponies and a new horse. Lady and Bess arrived in May and Stan in July, so we are settling them in and getting to know them. Hopefully they will be ready to take part in some of our sessions when the new term starts on the 8th of September.

The last session of the summer term ended on Friday 18th July, although some individual sessions may continue, subject to the availability of participants and volunteers. Check your WhatsApp group for more details.

All terms dates can be found on our Volunteer and Participant pages.

We currently have a waiting list, but do still get in touch as participants change all the time. Please contact Frances on chair@lambournrda.co.uk for more information.

As well as our flat work riding and hacking, we can now offer show jumping and endurance riding. The weekly non-riding therapy session on Fridays are proving to be very popular with our two shetlands, Freddie and Marmaduke. If you would be interested in coming along, please get in touch.

We have now had two wonderful ‘Tea with a Pony’ sessions with some customers from the Hungerford Resource Centre and some independent groups. They have been incredibly well received, and we have thoroughly enjoyed meeting some lovely people, so we will definitley putting some new dates in the diary in 2025.

If you would like to find out more about any of our activities, do please get in touch.
