Meet The Horses

RDA National Training Centre could not do what we do daily without these lovely horses and ponies!

Do you have or know a pony or horse that might be suitable for our centre? We need to hear from you! Give us an email at LEC@rda.org.uk or phone us on 01926 405977.

Alfie

Alfie has now found a new home where he will be used as a non-ridden therapy pony!

We wish Alfie all the best.

Archie

Archie has gone to a new loan home, where he will happily spend his days hacking around the Oxfordshire Countryside.

We wish Archie all the best in his new home and we will keep in touch with how he is getting on.
