The dates for the start of the new term in September are detailed on the Volunteer Page and the Participants Page, as each session is staring on a different date this term due to the availability of our coaches. We look forward to welcoming back our participants and meeting those who are joining us for the first time.

Don’t forget to look out for the Virtual RDA Championships which will be judged in the Autumn. Good Luck to all our Competitors.

There are plenty of things going on in September. We had a stand selling homemade cakes and bakes at the Lambourn Carnival Horse Show on Sunday the 1st September, which raised £382.00 helping towards the upkeep of our horses nad ponies. We are holding a Charity Golf Day at Donnington Valley Golf Club on the 13th of September. There are a few places left if you would like to play. Details in the panel on the right.

MAISIE

One of our new participants starting in September is Maisie, and aged 2 years old, she will be our youngest rider ever! We can’t wait to get started.

Her father has told us “Maisie has developed a real passion for horse riding. Not only does horse riding provide Maisie with so much joy, it also helps develop strength in lots of her muscle groups.” He also goes on to say “My sister, Katie, and I are running Brighton marathon in April next year. We would like to raise money for Lambourn RDA as a way of supporting the wonderful work that you do, and also as a thank you for giving Maisie the opportunity to ride.”

Jake and Katie have set up a JustGiving fundraising page and we would like to thank them for their amazing support. If you are able to sponsor them, please follow the link – Jake and Katie’s Marathon JustGiving Page
