REMEMBERANCE day 11/11
Silent hooves on the battlefield, lost in time’s gray mist,
Ghostly shapes of courage, in every gallop, every twist.
Eyes wide with loyalty, hearts fierce and true,
They carried soldiers’ burdens, like heroes born anew.
Beneath the roar of cannon fire, in mud and cold and dread,
These valiant steeds, with noble hearts, pressed onward, bravely led.
Through endless fields of suffering, they thundered without pause,
Their only bond a silent vow, their loyalty the cause.
Forgotten in the pages, just shadows in the dust,
Yet still they ride in memory, their duty wrought in trust.
The reins they wore, the saddles borne, no longer weigh them down—
Now free to roam in endless fields, untouched by war’s dark crown.
Today we stand in silence, for warriors lost and gone,
Yet remember too the gallant steeds who helped to carry on.
In solemn thanks we bow our heads, for lives lost in the fight—
Both man and beast, remembered here, in morning’s softest light.
Silent hooves on distant hills, beyond our earthly pain,
We hear their echo softly now, like distant drops of rain.
So let us keep their memory, those souls so brave and strong—
For in the fields of memory, they ride forever on.

For term 1 and 4 which are our hottest terms, we have decided to allow a break for 15min between sessions, this is so our horses and volunteers can have a drink and be ready for the next session
The first session will start and finish at the usual times, but the 2nd & 3rd session will start and finish 15min later.
Emails will be sent to all those who this will affect. But we are sure you’ll all agree with the changes! Thanking you from the team at Northern

Jenna is one of our very talented riders.
Yesterday she received a Bronze Certificate, on a story for the Children's University, it is a program run by the University of Adelaide for school aged children, members can participate in a range of activities to gain credit towards their awards.
They are presented with the awards at a graduation ceremony.
Among other activities completed, Jenna also chose to include horse riding sessions to contribute to her hours to receive the bronze award.
Jenna is really enjoying riding Alphi!

Alphi as he is known at our Northern Centre, looks after Jenna every week for her riding sessions, Alphi is no slouch when it comes to awards too.
He was originally a racehorse called “Alpha Proxima” who was very handy on the track with approx. $300,000 in winnings, he also turned his hoof as a very successful show horse, he has million dollar looks and a million-dollar heart.
Both Jenna and Alphi are a fantastic team to watch. Super proud to be part of your journey Jenna!!

Finally, some time to reflect on our trash & treasure day on Sunday.

Firstly, a huge thank you to our wonderful band of volunteers who helped orchestrate and pull this together.
Secondly a thank you to the sellers who were all so lovely and helpful and left the grounds in immaculate condition, thank you so very much, the down side was not much support through the gates as buyers, so not sure this will run again.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the day.

A massive shout out to Tong & Chic Creations, Adrian & Ann Beacham for the donation of a beautiful 2 horse welcome metal cut out. Adrian and Ann were very close friends of Jodie Richardson who recently passed away and who was a great supporter of RDA Northern. In her honour, they have given us the opportunity to sell this wonderful sign.

More info to come soon on just how you might be the lucky owners of this fabulous sign!
