RDA Carine were fortunate to have Jill Davies, Equine Nutritionist, visit our herd this week. She met with Jody Karran, Coach to ensure our herd are in the best form to work with our clients.

Jill Davies is an independent equine nutritionist behind, Feed Your Steed, specialising in personalised diet design for all horse life stages, from youngstock to retirees. She provides tailored, science-based advice on feeding strategies, mineral mixes, and safe feed transitions.

Special thanks to the three generations of the Ross Family, Kathy and John Perriam and Jacki and Kaitlin Ross who are long-time supporters of RDA Carine. Their generous donation made Jill’s visit possible.

Supporting High Standards at RDA Carine

RDA Carine is proud to maintain high standards of safety, hygiene, and horse welfare across all of our programs. To continue doing so, we are seeking community support to help fund two important infrastructure items, with a total fundraising target of $10,000.

Washing Machine - Our industrial washing machine has reached the end of its service life and now requires replacement. Washing facilities play an important role in maintaining clean equipment and supporting safe work practices for our riders, volunteers, and staff. In the interim, appropriate alternative processes are in place to ensure standards continue to be met.

Arena Surface Maintenance - Thanks to the generous support of the City of Stirling and the Rotary Club of Karrinyup, RDA Carine has access to one of Perth’s leading equestrian arenas. As part of routine upkeep, the arena surface requires periodic resurfacing to maintain optimal conditions for rider safety and horse comfort.

These upgrades will help ensure we can continue delivering safe, inclusive, and life-changing programs for our community.

One of the beautiful things about our program is watching riders grow in confidence and ability. One of our riders Henry is ready to transition to a new riding day! 🐴✨ This change means he will have fresh opportunities to build skills, meet new friends, and continue developing his partnership with our horses. He spoilt our volunteer and board member Alison, Coach Jo and his fellow riders with thoughtful gifts. Transitions like this are milestones worth celebrating – they show how much riders can achieve with encouragement, determination, and support. See you on your new riding day Henry!
