Greenwood RDA at Eastfield

11/09/2024

There’s a new man at Greenwood RDA. Everybody meet Humble Pye (or Pye for short).

Pye arrived safely at the Farm last week and has settled in his field with Tizzy. Tizzy is a wise and experienced RDA pony so we’re hoping she will teach Pye the ropes.

Pye still has some things to learn before taking part in RDA sessions. Today Pye met Da**ie and Pride whilst having some time in the stables.

Happy horses and happy volunteers!

The sun is out so 3 of our long term and regular volunteers headed out for a ride with Tizzy, Susie and pride.

Da**ie and paddock pal Alfie spent the morning in their corral (a fancy name for a small paddock) eatting some long grass.

RDA pony Da**ie and her field pal Alfie managed to avoid bath time this week. Unfortunately the weather turned cloudy and due to their age we didn’t want to risk them getting a chill.

Luckily they still got to spend time with the volunteers. Da**ie likes to keeps an eye on the volunteers to make sure they are keeping her paddock clean and tidy.

There will be a chance to meet our RDA ponies at our upcoming fundraising event this Saturday.

So Pride, Susie and Tizzy have had a pamper afternoon to ensure they look their best for the occasion.

Are you thinking about volunteering with us?
Saturday is a great opportunity to come and meet the ponies and volunteers. Our trustees and head coach will be on hand to answer any questions.

It’s been a wet start to 2024 for the RDA ponies. Thankfully the rain has stopped today and the sun is shining which Tizzy is very happy about!

Because of all the rain the RDA ponies have been spending their nights in a nice warm stable. Susie was ready for a lie down last night. There wasn’t even enough time to take off Susie’s rug before she laid down on her bed, it’s hard work grazing on the grass all day!

Due to circumstances outside of our control we have taken the decision to cancel RDA sessions for the remainder of the year.

All the ponies and volunteers from Greenwood RDA want to thank all our riders and supporters over this year. There’s been so many amazing moments which simply can not happen without your help. We can not wait to see you again the new year!

A mini heatwave in October can mean only one thing when you have white horse… a bath!
Pride loves a roll round in her paddock so it’s a challenge for our volunteers to keep her shiny and clean.

How long will the clean and shiny coat last?

08/10/2023

No matter the weather our volunteers and ponies always show up!
These last few weeks our volunteers have really gone above and beyond to ensure the sessions have run smoothly and the ponies are well looked after.
Well done and a huge thank you to each and every one of our volunteers! Honestly, we couldn’t do it without you!

Our volunteers come from all walks of life, each bringing something different. Young or old, male or female. Everyone is welcome at RDA.
Can you spare a Wednesday morning or Saturday morning?
You don’t need experience with horses just a can do attitude to volunteer.
