Riding For the Disabled Maryborough, Qld

02/01/2026

2026 has begun with wonderfully positive news, and we hope it’s a sign of great things to come throughout the year.

We are delighted to share that Rotary Club of Maryborough City has made a very generous donation to support our work. In addition, Ken Ellis has kindly donated 20 bales of hay for our horses. Both contributions mean a great deal to us, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to Rotary and to Ken for their generosity and for thinking of us.

It is with great sadness that we heard of the recent passing of our long term volunteer and friend Neville Scougall.
Nev volunteered with us for 20+ years. He was a very valued member of the team able to turn his hand to whatever needed doing - ground maintenance, building things, fixing things and helping in rides as a mounting officer, side walker or leader. He loved the horses, especially Bobby and they loved him back.
Neville was a quiet achiever who saw what needed doing and did it without fuss. We will remember him, especially every time we go into 'Nev's Shed' to get a screw, nut, paint brush or any of the other mirid things needed to repair a fence, replace a gate hinge, touch up the rails of the round yard etc.

You may have turned up as a volunteer to assist us in running our Centre, sponsored a horse or a rider, donated items to our garage sale or tack for our horses, shopped at our garage sale, sold and/or bought raffle tickets.
We would especially like to mention Wide Bay Farrier Services Fraser Coast Rural Supplies and Maryborough Veterinary Surgery who look after our horses and are always happy to help, donating time, services, advice and patience.

Rotary Club of Maryborough City thank you for your support. It means a lot to us.
We recently had our State Championships at the showgrounds and not only did Rotary feed us delicious breakfast and lunch on both days they also made a donation to RDA Maryborough from the proceeds.
The funds will go towards supporting our young riders to achieve their riding goals.

Chartered on the 26th June 1985 Maryborough City Rotary Club boasts an active membership that meets 6.30pm every Wednesday night at the Maryborough Services.and Citizens Club.

Thanks to Fraser Coast Regional Council our horses each have an automatic water bowl in their stall. This means they always have clean drinking water and it is easier for our volunteers to maintain the horse's water, no more hauling buckets and hoses, just turn the tap on to fill them up.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Garage Sale on Saturday and a very special thanks to all our volunteers who helped set it up, assist while it was on and then pack up afterwards. You are an amazing bunch of people.
We raised over $3,000 to help feed our horses and support our riding program.
