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.

What a fabulous day we had at Cheltenham Racecourse yesterday!

We were joined by some very special guests - little Toffee from Wellow Group Riding For the Disabled and racing legend Saffy (Saphir Du Rheu). It was a wonderful way to start the week at Cheltenham, and we think both Saffy and Toffee enjoyed all the attention too.

A huge thank you to Charlotte and Anne for helping make the day so special.

💚 We did it! Robbie is staying home.

In just three days, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we have reached our £6,000 target to purchase Robbie.
That means this much-loved 6-year-old Fell pony will officially be staying with us here at Cotswold Riding for the Disabled Association.

We are truly overwhelmed by the kindness and support shown throughout this campaign. We received so many generous donations, and one particularly wonderful member of our community stepped forward with a contribution that helped us reach our target in record time.

Without the support of our amazing community, THAT’S YOU, we simply wouldn’t have been able to secure Robbie’s future and ensure his life-changing work continues.

Robbie has already made a huge impact on the children and adults who ride with him. His calm nature and kind spirit help build confidence, independence and joy for so many riders every week.
From all of us at Cotswold RDA... Thank you for helping us keep Robbie home.

🐴 Want to continue supporting Robbie? 🐴
If you’d like to stay involved and be part of Robbie’s journey, you will soon be able to support him through our “Sponsor a Pony” programme:
👉 https://www.cotswoldrda.org.uk/sponsor-robbie/

Our entire herd at Cotswold RDA gives so much to so many people every single day, and we rely on the continued support of our community and friends to help us care for them.

If you would like to support CRDA in any capacity, whether through volunteering, sponsorship, fundraising or partnerships, we would love to hear from you.
