That's a wrap on yet another amazing term! Some of our riders have ridden for the very first time, trotted for the first time, cantered for the first time and we have learnt so much with the addition of the lovely Wendy and her wonderful horse Ringo.

We had so much fun with our easter themed day, there was easter egg hunts in the hay pile, egg and spoon racing, a very competitive game of Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt where it was an all in battle to see who could collect, steal and then return the most eggs to their barrel.

Everyone had a blast, even the horses got an easter treat of apples and carrots.🍏🍏🥕🥕

See you all next term!

We’re back in the saddle for 2026! 🐎

​What a kickoff! Our first day back at RDA Ballarat was packed with action. Alan led the way on the cross-country jumps course, while others took to the field for some Horse Soccer and tested their precision with our "Knock ‘em Down" blocks.

​We are so excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to welcome our new riders to the family!

​Want to be part of the magic?
We’re always looking for fresh faces to join our volunteer team. Whether you’re a horse pro or just want to give back, we’d love to meet you.

​When: Thursdays (during school terms)
​Time: Between 8:30 am until Midday
​Where: Drop in and see what we’re all about at 6 Rose Hill Road (new show grounds!)

Was a fun day with all our amazing volunteers, riders and family coming together to enjoy all the entertainment and as always great food.

Farewell to Our Beloved Moses

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear horse, Moses — a treasured member of our RDA family.

Moses was our hoist horse, a role that demanded 100% trust, calmness and a truly special temperament. He gave it all without hesitation, quietly and faithfully helping so many riders experience the joy of being in the saddle.

He was also a true character — always happy to follow everyone around, especially when the steering was questionable!

A faithful servant, a kind soul, and an absolute legend — Moses will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Thank you, Moses, for everything. Rest easy, old friend. 🐴❤️
