Two of our coaches, Max and Sophie, pictured with RDA pony Zion, while attending the 2026 RDA Programmes Workshop, held at Christchurch RDA over the last few days.

The workshop covered three key areas.

🐴 Rider Day - presentations and practical sessions focused on supporting our riders.

🎓 Coach Day - developing coaching skills and exploring how to run effective RDA programmes.

🐎 Horse Day - focusing on RDA horses, their wellbeing and effective horse training.

A special thank you to Pub Charity Limited for funding the trip and making it possible for our coaches to attend this valuable workshop.
We really appreciate your support 🩵

🌛 A good night's sleep can change everything.

Riding Helps Kate sleep through the night.

🐴 It's Not Just Pony Rides in Paddocks.

Through therapeutic horse riding, Kate is building stronger muscles, improving her balance and gaining greater control of her movements. The physical and sensory benefits of each ride help her body relax, making it easier to sleep soundly through the night.

Better sleep means more energy for learning, playing and enjoying family life.
