URGENT CALL FROM RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION (RDA) – KENDALL CENTRE – WE NEED YOU!

🤗Hello to all our supporters and any newcomers to the RDA Kendall page. RDA is urgently seeking two dedicated horse feeders, as two of our regular volunteers have moved on. At this moment, we are inviting expressions of interest for these vital roles, as we cannot specify the exact days for feeding right now.

Experience with horses is not necessary, as there will be no direct interaction with them, and you will not need to enter their enclosures. On-site training is provided. If you would like additional training, you have the option to shadow experienced feeders during a live feeding process.

To learn more about what feeding the horses involves, take a look at the video created by one of our volunteers during an actual feeding session. See video.

Feeding the horses usually only takes 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish. This process includes unlocking the gates and feed shed, preparing and distributing the feed, checking the water, and securely locking everything up afterwards. Feeding happens twice a day, and our volunteers typically cover one shift each. The feeding times within your shift are flexible, making it easy for you to fit this responsibility into your busy life. If a volunteer is unable to fulfil their feeding assignment, you can arrange for a relief feeder to step in. To learn more about what feeding the horses involves, take a look at the video created by one of our volunteers during an actual feeding session.

Our volunteers play a crucial role in the well-being of our horses and the efficient operation of our centre. By volunteering, you directly contribute to your community and take on a meaningful role that matters. In addition to this volunteering offers numerous personal benefits. Organizations like RDA allow you to pursue your interests, build new friendships, gain new skills, and enhance your physical and mental health. Most importantly, it fosters a deep sense of fulfillment. Joining RDA Kendall as a volunteer at our Batar Creek Center means becoming part of something special. You'll experience the joy of working with horses as a feeder while supporting RDA Kendall's vital services for people with disabilities. This creates a rewarding exchange where everyone involved benefits. A win-win for all.

Whether you are an experienced horse person wishing to reconnect, or someone new seeking a bond with these beautiful animals, this is the perfect opportunity for you to engage in something new and meaningful.

Are you ready to take the reins and become a feeder? Message us on Facebook Messenger with your contact details and a short message with any questions or details you might have to begin your rewarding journey with our horses! All messages will be forwarded to the appropriate person who will reach out to you soon. We look forward to hearing from you and can’t wait to welcome you to the team!

⛳🏌🏽⛳🐎BATO 20th Anniversary Memorial Golf Day – What an Amazing Day!🏌🏽⛳🏌🏽🐎

Wow, what a fantastic day we had at the BATO 20th Anniversary Memorial Golf Day! We can't thank everyone enough for making it such a special event. It was heartwarming to see the family and friends of Ian Barbato come together, along with some new faces, to enjoy a fun-filled day of golf. The weather was perfect—sunny and beautiful, making everything even more enjoyable!

A big shout-out to the Barbato family and Simon Hancox from PRD Real Estate for doing such a wonderful job organising this fundraiser. And we can’t forget our incredible volunteers—thank you for jumping in and helping out to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Your energy and dedication shone through!

We’re excited to share that we raised an amazing total of $9,416.30! This includes the money from a raffle on the day, an auction, and generous donations from all the players. Every bit of this will go towards supporting the ongoing programs at the centre, which means so much to all of us.

A huge thank you to each and every one of you who contributed to making this day such a success! Together, we created wonderful memories while honouring Ian Barbato’s legacy and strengthening our community bonds. We can’t wait for next year’s event!

🎄🎄🎄 RDA END OF YEAR LUNCH 🎄🎄🎄

Nearly Christmas time and the end of another busy year for RDA Kendall. Volunteers took time out to have lunch together to mark the occasion at the Royal Hotel at Kew.

With the school term finishing, riding classes end next week meaning the hard-working coaches and volunteers can look forward to a well-deserved break.

However, this doesn’t mean that work pauses entirely during this time. Horse care, including feeding, training, and exercise, will continue, along with ongoing administrative duties and centre maintenance.

The success and operation of the RDA Kendall centre rely entirely on the dedication of its volunteers. RDA Kendall looks forward to the ongoing support of our volunteers and our heartfelt thanks go out to all who contribute to this effort.

Yesterday afternoon at RDA Kendall. Perfect!

🐎🎄🐎 RDA KENDALL CHRISTMAS RAFFLE 🎟 🤞🏾🎟️
On Saturday, November 30, Kendall RDA volunteers will be selling tickets for our Christmas Raffle outside the Laurieton Coles supermarket. Our RDA representatives will be pleased to assist you and possibly sell you that winning ticket!. There are numerous prizes up for grabs!
Your generosity in supporting these RDA fundraisers are what help keep the organisation afloat. Every ticket sold is a dollar that directly supports the centre's operations and maintenance. It could cover the expense of the horses' dry feed, farrier, veterinarian, and other equine supplies like rugs to keep the horses warm throughout the winter. Or accessories like riding boots, helmets, or rider body protectors to ensure our riders have a safe riding experience.
So come along and have a go & best of luck to all who buy one or many tickets. It all helps. If you would like to buy tickets in advance, please send a message through the RDA Kendall Facebook Messenger and we will advise where the tickets can be purchased.

We appreciate your support and ongoing interest. Good Luck with the raffle.

Kendall RDA Horse Feeding Volunteers needed Calling all people who have an interest in horses! Join us as a volunteer feeder at the RDA Kendall Centre and become part of something special. Our volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of our treasured horses and the smooth operation of our centre. Feeding the horses only takes 15 – 20 minutes of your time, from start to finish - from arriving at the front gate to putting the feed together, taking it to the horses, and locking/ unlocking the feed shed and gates. Feeding takes place twice a day, morning and afternoon. Our volunteer feeders are rostered to do this. Most people do one shift a day. There are no set times when this is to occur to allow some flexibility for the volunteers to fit this into their busy lives. We provide training, and if needed, you can shadow experienced feeders to gain a hands-on understanding. Whether you're an experienced horse person who misses being around horses or simply want to have a horse experience, this is the perfect opportunity for you to make that connection. By volunteering, you'll not only be enriching your own life with the pleasure of working with horses, but you'll also be contributing to the longevity of RDA Kendall and its invaluable services for people with disabilities. It's a win-win for everyone. Take a look at the video to see what feeding of the horses involves. It was created by one of our volunteers during an actual feed. To those of you who know the horses Ari, was unfortunately referred to as Robbie🤔. If you're ready to take the reins and become a feeder, please email us at [email protected]. We can't wait to welcome you to the team!
