With the prolonged warm, dry weather this summer we have been assessing the impact it has had on New Yatt RDA.

We never take the decision to cancel our sessions lightly and take guidance from other RDA Centres to whether is it safe to exercise our ponies or allow our volunteers to work in high temperatures. Unfortunately we have had to cancel many sessions this summer which has been frustrating for all.

So far this summer we have had to cancel 84 single sessions. It is no surprise that the cancellations have also made an impact on our income (rider fees greatly contribute to the running of our yard). Combined with the absence of grazing, we have also had to resume providing hay for our six equines, hay which we had stored for the winter.

In order to limit the impact this loss of income and added expenditure has had on our charity, we would like to ask for your help. If you are able to make a small donation towards our current running costs either via Just Giving or via our SumUp link, we would be extremely grateful. No amount is too small and we really appreciate every penny donated.

Our wonderful Saturday morning helpers kept the horses cool this weekend with a shower - they don’t stay clean for long but they were very grateful! Hoping we will be back riding and the weather is not as hot next week!

This week we launched Tea with a Pony here at New Yatt RDA.

These sessions create a calm, welcoming space for people living with dementia and other long term conditions - a chance to relax, connect and simply enjoy the moment.

🐴 95% of participants tell us they feel calmer and more focused during sessions.

Behind each of these moments are our volunteers who help to make it possible, creating spaces where connection, confidence and community can grow.

It’s often the smallest moments that mean the most!

If you have a friend or family member that you feel would benefit from this experience, please contact us at the email below for more details.
