I was lucky enough to be at the NZRDA conference and hear this speech in person. Horse welfare is at the forefront of everything we do at ACRDA

Our horses are so wonderful!

The more we learn about horses, the more extraordinary they become. 💙

A wonderful piece of feedback from the parent of one of our Riders

I love taking pics of Charlie riding but these pics of him sitting, talking and connecting with all the wonderful volunteers are also an important part of RDA. Thank you.

Tango is a 12.2hh 10 year old Dun gelding and he is the smallest pony we have had in quite a while. His size has made him an excellent choice for our very intensive Riders who require a full hold and our smaller Riders. His personality has given him a lot of fans with the volunteers and Riders.
11 year old Jemma and her family are his owners and lend him to ACRDA each week. They are members of Meadowbank Pony Club and we are very grateful to all the owners at the Pony Club who lend us their ponies and horses each week to enable us to do riding therapy.
Jemma has been learning to walk, trot and canter and has started jumping over small jumps. She has also been learning how to look after her pony and loves him very much

A symbol of remembrance.
Today, we pause to remember those who served, those who never returned, and the legacy they left behind.

Lest we forget.
