“Driving lets me move through the countryside again… Being with the ponies gives me such a sense of freedom.” – Sue, Springbridge RDA For many at RDA, being outdoors, building connections, and feeling part of something bigger play a huge role in mental wellbeing. After a serious accident left her paralysed from the chest down, Sue thought her time with horses and the countryside was over. But through carriage driving with Springbridge RDA, she found it all again. Thank you Sue for sharing your story, and to all our amazing carriage driving groups who make moments like these happen. 💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek (fb)

Badminton 2025, you’ve been brilliant! As always, Badminton Horse Trials didn’t disappoint. We had a fantastic five days meeting with supporters old and new, sharing stories, and shining a light on the impact of our life-changing work. Charley, our mechanical horse, was a big hit—as were our fun giveaways! None of it would have been possible without the incredible support of our volunteers. A HUGE thank you to Lambourn RDA, Cotswold, Chipping Norton, Hanford, Wellow, Newbury RDA, Lowlands Equestrian Centre, Aim RDA, Patchwork RDA and Saxon Group RDA - you were all fantastic. As we reflect on another brilliant event, we also want to send huge congratulations to the 2025 winner, Ros Canter Eventing! Until next year, Badminton! 🐴💚 Badminton Horse Trials (fb)
