We’ve just had a busy few weeks of RDA Regional Competitions in Dressage, Show Jumping and the Countryside Challenge and our riders have done brilliantly with 11 qualifying to go on to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) Championships.
However, we couldn't have done it without our amazing horses, four of who will now be part of our National Championships team. Jess, Bella, Duke and Scrappy will all be travelling to this prestigious event in July, hoping to partner their riders to red rosettes.
The amazing thing is that none of these horses have been with us for more than a year. Jess, Duke & Scrappy were bought for Scropton Riding for the Disabled through donations and fundraising and Bella was bought with a grant from the Severn Trent Community Fund. We have so many generous people to thank for supporting us to strengthen our horse team, and thanks too to Exclusivia Equine Agentsclusivia for helping us to find Duke and Scrappy.
Jess, Bella, Duke and Scrappy all work in sessions at our centre, helping with therapeutic sessions and beginner riders as well as stepping up for more capable riders and competitions – they really are amazing horses!
Thank you to Nigel Kirby Photography and Matthew Dalley - Para Dressage & Jumping Rider for the great pictures of these lovely horses.
