Wakefield Riding for the Disabled Association

NE & S Yorks Regional Qualifiers

Our Regions Dressage and Countryside Challenge Qualifiers were held here at Wakefield RDA on 30th May. Wakefield had many riders qualify to go to the National Championships at Hartpury College.

Well Done to Jeanette Sykes, Oliver Peace, Debbie Lee, Chris Land, Charlotte Cooper and Kyle Peace for qualifying.

Other Wakefield RDA riders entered the non-qualifier classes and received very good scores with everyone winning a rosette.

The RDA National Championships take place at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire on 11th & 12th July 2009. Spectators are welcome - you can find more information on the RDA website.

Para Equestrian Training was held at Wakefield RDA on Sunday 14th June. We saw some beautiful horses and talented riders, all receiving training from Jane Goldsmith, a well known dressage coach who has taken riders to the Olympics in the past.

Wakefield RDA would like to thank Gemma at Vicky Spalding Associates physiotherapy practice. Gemma came out to look at Willow and Rowan and after seeing them trotted up, worked on their necks and backs. They now appear much happier in their work.
