WANAKA RDA BACK FOR 2022
At closing day in 2021, we presented trophies to our Most Improved Rider, Amanda Wrench, and our Gold Star Competence Trophy to Grace Read. Well deserved! Written by: Kim Kelly -WRDA Treasurer
After a summer break, Wanaka Riding for the Disabled (RDA) is back into weekly riding sessions on Thursdays at Waterfall Creek Equestrian Centre. Our team of around 20 volunteers are always looking for more helpers, so if you can spare an hour or two on Thursdays during school Terms 1 and 4 (approximately 4 February until 14 April and then 20 October until 10 December) please let us know. No experience is necessary and it is a truly rewarding experience helping our riders and spending time with the quiet horses. Our fantastic coaches Virginia and Carol provide the expertise, but many hands make light work.
We are able to provide this service to the Wanaka community free of charge, thanks to grants and donations. Without our generous sponsors we would be unable to operate, so if you would like to contribute, please contact us. No amount is too big or too small. Covid permitting, we will hold an open day later in the year to show our thanks and showcase what we do. We will also be back at Mitre 10 MEGA with our famous sausage sizzles in the near future! For further information, please contact us via our Wanaka Riding for the Disabled Facebook page, email secretary Kay at kaysutherlandross@gmail.com or text/call treasurer Kim on 020 4479 674.
