Wakefield Riding for the Disabled Association

We are delighted that TK Maxx have donated £1500 to Wakefield RDA.

As a TK Maxx employee, Rosie Loftus nominated our charity for a Community Award as her sister Dora enjoys riding at our group on Monday evenings.

Pictured above are Rosie handing the cheque over to instructor Janet, Dora sat on Ben in the centre of the picture along with ponies, riders and volunteers from the Monday evening sessions.

The money will go towards a few different items including new woodchip for the Corrals, outdoor rugs for the ponies and some new riding hats.

Well done to Angela Wilson and Hector who get the prize for the furthest travelled competitors, all the way from Bolton! We were delighted to see they won two rosettes.

Thank you to our fab judge Viv and writer David for spending all day with us and giving such encouraging comments to riders.

Big thank you to our volunteers Carol, Sue, James, Bev, Chris and Marion who gave up their Sunday to help with the competition and looking after the RDA ponies & yard.

Look out for our next competition in April next year
