Huge thanks to 🌻 Tutbury Flower Club 🌻 who have been busy fund raising for Scropton Riding for the Disabled this year. We were absolutely delighted to receive a cheque for £750 at their Christmas evening last week.
Thank you so much - support like this makes a very real difference to the work that we do.

What are you doing after 🎉🐴 Christmas 🐴🎉 ???

Although theres still plenty to do to get ready for Christmas, have you thought about what you’re going to be doing afterwards??

As many local schools don’t re-open straight after new year, we are running some holiday activities so riders can enjoy some holiday pony time!

These can be booked just like our normal holiday activities, but if you wanted to give the activity as a christmas present we can give you an activity certificate to pass on to the lucky recipient!

Visit www.scropton.com/christmas-activities to find out more and book

🎄🎁🎄 Stuck for a gift idea this Christmas?🎄🎁🎄

How about giving a Christmas gift of carrots, hay or even a head collar? Your friends and family might think these were a bit unusual if you wrapped them up under the tree for them, but would be very happy to know that the gift was instead going to our lovely horses & ponies.

Buy one of our essential horse care items as a present for friends or family and we’ll send you a donation certificate you can pass on to them to show how our centre has been helped. You get your Christmas shopping sorted and our horses benefit from your support - it’s win win!

You can choose from a list of items at various prices and pay online. You’ll then be able to download and print or email your donation certificate - what could be easier!

By supporting our centre you'll be helping local adults and children with additional needs enjoy activities with horses to help their health and well-being.

For more information visit www.scropton.com/christmas-shop

🎄🐴🎄 Is your favourite pony joining you for Christmas?🎄🐴🎄

Choose one of our ponies to be your Holiday Horse and they will send you a personalised Christmas Card and a decoration to hang on your Christmas tree. The £10 you pay will go towards their feed & care plus they’ll get some extra Christmas carrot & apple treats so that they know they are loved.

You can buy this for yourself or as a gift for someone else.

For more information visit www.scropton.com/holiday-horses

This is a great way to send your Christmas greetings, save on buying cards & stamps and supporting good causes like Scropton Riding for the Disabled at the same time.
Just visit www.scropton.com/e-cards - Thank you!

We started this Christmas fundraiser eight years ago with just a handful of charities, and barely any card designs. We can now ‘cardly’ believe it seeing such an incredible range of e-cards uploaded by charities to DontSendMeACard.com!

Please take a moment to check out their Christmas card artwork. And if you do love one of their designs you can donate what you would have spent on cards, and send this as an e-card to friends and family this year instead 🎄 😊

Our charity Scropton Riding for the Disabled is on raising funds for Christmas this year! 🎄

A 🎁 gift voucher 🎁 makes a great Christmas gift, and we have several to choose from....

Vouchers for New Year Pony Activities - buy a voucher for a Pony Day or Pony Activity Sessions. These are running in the week after New Year before schools go back so would make a great Christmas gift. There are options for experienced riders and those new to ponies

Vouchers for our activities - buy a voucher that can be used towards our regular programme of activities or our holiday activities we run each school break

Vouchers for Arena Hire - a great gift for someone with their own horse enabling them to get out & ride somewhere different
