Updated on 24th July 2024
We have finished our main riding and non-riding therapy sessions for the summer, and the horses will have a break during August. There are however a few participants still riding upto the end of july, as they are getting ready for the Virtual RDA Championships in dressage and countryside challenge classes. They will therefore have their tests videoed over the coming weeks to be sent up to RDA UK for Judging in the Autumn. Good Luck to all our Competitors.
Congratulations to all of our Participants who went to the RDA National Championships at Hartpury, it was an amazing three days, with everyone coming home with rosettes!
