🐴💜 We’re Looking for New Volunteers to Join Our Team! 💜🐴

Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back, spend time outdoors, and be part of something truly special?

RDA Oakford is currently welcoming new volunteers to join our incredible team. No horse experience is necessary - just a kind heart, willingness to learn, and a desire to support children and adults living with disability through the magic of horses.

Our volunteers help with:

- Grooming and caring for our beautiful horses
- Setting up activities and equipment
- Creating a fun, safe and supportive environment for riders
- Being part of a warm and rewarding community

Whether you can help weekly, fortnightly or when available, we’d love to hear from you.

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, or know someone who would be a wonderful asset to our community, please like and share this post - now is the perfect time to come along and see what we’re all about 💜

Some happy snaps from our training days! 📸🐴💜

It’s been so lovely to see some new faces and reconnect with our team after the break.

We’re feeling excited for everything this year has in store and can’t wait to get back into the saddle together! ✨

Today we remember and honour the men and women who served our nation in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping - those who showed courage, sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering mateship in the face of unimaginable hardship.

We also remember the horses who served beside them, carrying troops, transporting the wounded, hauling supplies, and offering comfort and companionship to those far from home.

Today we reflect on all who served, and give thanks for their bravery and sacrifices made for the country we’re so fortunate to call home.

Lest we forget.

Just a friendly reminder to our wonderful Green and Yellow Saturday volunteers that our Training Day is on this Saturday 🐴💜

This also extends to any new volunteers (ages 13–80) who are interested in joining the team this term, or simply coming along to see what we’re all about 1 we’d love to have you! Feel free to contact our lovely Lois if you need more information: rdaoakfordvolunteers@gmail.com

Please note that Training Days are a requirement for all volunteers, regardless of your experience level or how long you’ve been with us. There’s always something new to learn, and it’s a great opportunity to connect before the riding term begins.

Access update: Gossage Road is currently closed, so the best way to reach us is via Bournebrook Ave. A map has been included for easy directions.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
