Hello, my name is Chief and I have some very important news to report!
After using the indoor riding school for almost six years, our arena surface now needs to be replaced. And this means we are going to have to start raising funds to pay for it...
so thankfully we have two RDA riders, Chloe and Emilie Wyatt, to help us!
Chloe, aged 11, and Emilie, aged 6, started riding three years ago.
Over the years, they have ridden many different ponies and entered lots of competitions...

and between them, they have won many rosettes.

Chloe rode me when she started showjumping on the lead rein...

but now she can canter and jump independently.

And Emilie now rides much bigger ponies too.

Their mum, Diane, said that riding at the centre "has given Chloe the confidence and ability to compete at national level and find her voice in a world she usually finds overwhelming. For Emilie, the therapeutic impact of horse riding not only relaxes her, but has massively improved her fitness and core strength".
The girls want to help raise money for our new arena surface through fundraising at school events, and with their name a bear competition. They have also set up a 'Go Fund Me' page for people who would like to help them with their RDA challenge.

It will make all the ponies, and their hooves, very happy!
Many thanks to Diane for providing the pictures in this post of her lovely girls.
