Back in 2021 during our fundraising campaign, donations poured in online, and locals drove past the Stables pausing to hand over money and pledge their support.

Sam, our gentle giant of a carriage horse, is on a roll. After winning RDA Equine of the Year last month, he’s now been nominated for BBC Radio London’s Make a Difference award.

July is RDA National Championships month, when teams of RDA riders and ponies from around the country meet up in Hartpury to take part in a series of competitions and challenges. We love this highlights video from the RDA.

Pamela Binns loved horses all her life, buying her first pony at the age of 10. As a teenager she started an acting career that was to last over 60 years, and included working with two James Bond heroes – Roger Moore and Sean Connery.

On Sunday 9 June we are once again running the Turks Head 10k, raising money to feed our 26 amazing therapy ponies. We are 100% funded through donations, and the cost of feed has increased dramatically.
