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.

Wishing Morph a very happy retirement! We said waved goodbye to Morph last weekend, after his many years of service at Cotswold RDA. After a vet analysis found arthritis, with Morph’s best interest and welfare at heart, we decided it was time for him to retire 🐴

Morph really was a superstar at Cotswold RDA, having competed at RDA Regional and National shows, winning countless placings (with his walk, which was always admired by the judges!) and of course provided riding lessons to our many clients at the arena five days a week. We know he will be much missed by our staff, riders and volunteers.

Morph’s new home is with our Head Groom Holly, where he will be thoroughly spoilt and looked after. Thank you Morph! 🌟

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.
