We are delighted to be supporting The Ravelrig RDA

Ravelrig RDA require essential upgrading to their facilities, including building an indoor arena. Which will prevent future disruption to the services they provide due to poor weather conditions. During this time, they will relocate to Glenpark Equestrian for a minimum of 28 weeks, to ensure that no service user is impacted. There will be no charge to Ravelrig RDA for the move, which will include full use of Glenpark Equestrian facilities and livery for all horses. Thereafter, they will continue to have full use of this spaces for fundraising/competitions/social events/training and lessons. However, we do need to fundraise to be able to purchase vital equipment for their move.

Why we are fundraising…..

I have been a voluntary RDA instructor for over 15 years formally based at the Abingdon RDA in Oxfordshire. Upon moving to Scotland, I was introduced to the Ravelrig RDA. Ravelrig Riding for the Disabled Group is a member of the UK Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) and part of the Edinburgh & Borders RDA Region. The group is managed by a Board of Trustees and is run with dedicated group of over 120 volunteers ranging in age from 12 to 75.

Ravelrig RDA provides people with a disability the opportunity to ride and enjoy all the activities connected with horse riding. However, the biggest and continual challenge to these services, is something that we have no control over whatsoever, the unpredictable Scottish weather!

The site is without a doubt beautiful. However, the price they pay for such a site is heavy wind, rain, cold and snow which causes the cancellation of up to a third of riding sessions every year. The disappointment and distress that this causes the service users is heart wrenching. For many, their visit to Ravelrig RDA is the highlight of their week. Leaving parents and carers to trying and explain why it has been cancelled. The therapeutic benefits such as improvements in core strength and posture are often set back when riding is inconsistent over the winter months.

Welcome
