🌞 Open Day Report 🌞

What an absolutely incredible day at our Open Day and annual dog show at Broadlands RDA!

The sunshine, the smiles, and the happy atmosphere made it truly special from start to finish. Our riders were nothing short of amazing — so many beautiful moments that brought tears to the eyes of parents, volunteers, and coaches alike. We couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them. A special mention to some of our newer riders who showed such bravery getting in the saddle — you were fantastic!

The hobby horse event was, as always, a huge hit, full of fun and laughter. And it was wonderful to see the Shetlands taking part in the main arena — they certainly stole a few hearts!

Of course, we can’t forget the cakes… which were as popular as ever (and absolutely delicious!). And our dog show continues to grow each year — we just love meeting all your wonderful pooches and seeing them take part.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers — your time, energy, and dedication make days like this possible, and we are so grateful for everything you do.

And of course, thank you to our brilliant events team for pulling off another fantastic annual event, and to everyone who came along to support, take part, and make the day so memorable.

Already looking forward to next year!

Thank you to our Dog Show judge and steward
