Cotswold RDA

Disability is not about what you cannot do, it’s about what you can do. That’s what matters to us!

Our purpose is to promote a culture of learning, development, achievement & enjoyment for our riders that allows them to reach their full potential.

This morning we watched as our office was expertly removed, loaded onto the lorry, and driven off into the sunset (or sunrise!) ☀️

Thank you so much to Steve from Worcester Container Hire Ltd for being so professional, cheerful and early!

Next stop is phase one of our arena development 🏗️

Thank you so much to Anne from Foresters Financial who has donated lots of wonderful goodies for our special ponies (and yard team!) this morning. It was lovely to meet you all, and thank you again for your generosity 😊

Bruno can't wait to get stuck into a salt lick! 🐴

Thank you to George and the team at the Cheltenham branch of Travis Perkins for their generous donation of plywood. With this, we have created several large arena markers, to assist our visually impaired riders when navigating around the arena 🐴

Here is Erin and Bob with coach Fiona, showing us how the wonderful markers will assist our riders in lessons 😊

Thank you for your wonderful donation to Cotswold RDA!

🌟 Happy National Volunteers Week! 🌟

This week we are saying a huge THANK YOU to our volunteers, who generously give their time every week to help deliver our riding lessons and equine activities. Our services are still very much in need, and the more volunteers we have the more people living with disabilities we can help. Without our team of volunteers Cotswold RDA truly would not be able to operate! 🐴

Thank you to each and every person who has helped our charity through volunteering in any capacity, whether through helping at the arena or fundraising, assisting at our stall and even our dedicated team of poo-pickers! Each one of you ensures Cotswold RDA is able to continue changing lives 💚

Did you catch us on BBC Radio Gloucestershire this morning?

Our General Manager Debbie and Groom Lucy were sharing how we keep our wonderful herd of hard-working ponies and horses cool in this hot weather.

Oreo, Hattie and the rest of the herd were all ears… and we’re fairly sure Bruno was a big fan too!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our fun Quiz Night last Friday! Huge congratulations to Team Pony Pals who took home the prize, and thank you to Clive and Jane for organising such a wonderful array of questions that really got our brains working! 🎉

We raised an absolutely amazing £280 through the raffle, which will go towards purchasing a new saddle for Rosie the pony! Thank you to everyone who bought tickets 🎫
