🌟 To celebrate we would like to introduce our newest trustee - Georgina!

"My inspiration to become a Trustee for Cotswold RDA comes from a genuine admiration for the incredible work the organisation does and the positive impact it has on people’s lives. Since volunteering as a coach-in-training, I’ve witnessed first-hand how much joy, confidence, and freedom riding brings to participants, and how dedicated and passionate the whole team is. There’s something truly special about seeing the connection between horses, riders, and volunteers, it’s uplifting, humbling, and inspiring all at once."

🌾 Hay! We Need Your Help 🌾

The Cotswold RDA Hay Appeal 2025

At Cotswold RDA, our 14 incredible ponies are at the heart of everything we do🐴💛

Each week, we help children and adults living with disabilities experience confidence, connection and joy through riding and therapy sessions. But with the cost of hay and essential supplies continuing to rise, we’re asking for your support this winter ❄️

Just £5 buys a bale of hay, enough to keep one of our much-loved ponies warm, healthy and ready to make a difference to the riders who depend on them.

Your donation doesn’t just feed a pony. It fuels moments of courage, independence and happiness for the people they support.

✨ How you can help:

💛 Donate via JustGiving: https://www.justgiving.com/page/crdahayappeal2025
💛 Or use our online donation form: https://cotswoldrda.beaconforms.com/form/4621cb44

With your help, we can keep the hay nets full, the ponies happy, and the smiles shining all winter long.

🌟 It's and we are celebrating the commitment of our board of trustees! Without them Cotswold RDA would not be able to help so many adults and children living with a disability, through the power of equine interaction and riding lessons.

Meet our Board of Trustees on our website: https://www.cotswoldrda.org.uk/meet-the-team-2022/

RDA UK Chief Executive Officer, Michael Bishop, has shared his message of thanks: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AOi5wMNRzqI

We hope you will join us in thanking our, and all RDA trustees, as without their commitment, wisdom, and leadership Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) would not be able to operate. Thank you for all that you do behind the scenes! 💚

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
