Open Morning 2025

What a fantastic Open Morning at Broadlands Equine Therapy and RDA!

Our beautiful ponies...

We’re so grateful the rain held off, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the day to the fullest. The ponies looked absolutely fabulous and loved all the attention.

Our riders were truly amazing and made us all incredibly proud! Each one gave it their all, showing off their skills, confidence, and the strong bonds they’ve built with their ponies. It was inspiring to see their determination, joy, and the progress they’ve made through their sessions. Whether it was a first-time ride in front of a crowd or a confident display of riding ability, every rider shone in their own way. Their smiles said it all — what a brilliant showcase of what RDA is all about!

Warming up the Hobby Horses...

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, supported the BBQ (which was a big hit! ), and helped make the day such a success. Your support means the world to us and helps us continue our work with the incredible individuals and animals that make Broadlands so special.

Fabulous Susie Greenwood, our compere for the morning

The Dog Show was a great success, it was great to meet all of your pooches.

We were also honoured to host the Australian Virtus Dressage riders, they are currently in the UK in preparations for the Championships hosted at Sparsholt this week.

Here’s to more sunny days, smiling faces, and happy hooves!

HUGE congratulations to wonderful Kim Ottridge, winner of Volunteer of the Year 2025. Kim is Trustee responsible for Events, so she is having a ridiculously busy year this year! We are so grateful to her.
