25.01.2022 I just wanted to say a heart felt thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers, without whom we couldn't run this group. Our volunteers do all sorts of different jobs - leading horses, walking alongside horses to ensure riders are safe, cleaning equipment in-between riders, meeting & greeting parents and riders as they arrive, setting up the equipment and putting it away afterwards, dealing with all the paperwork and communications with the head office in Perth, dealing with the finances, and looking after our HorsePower Midwest owned horses, which includes cleaning up after them. Each and every one of you is incredibly valued, and the whole place is buzzing with your enthusiasm on a Thursday afternoon - it's just wonderful
24.01.2022 Back to business again today. Looking forward to seeing you all this afternoon

09.01.2022 Today we lost a wonderful lady. Lucille was one of our founding members, and one of the most kind hearted, caring and passionate people about. She touched so many people throughout her life, and she will be missed by many. Rest in peace, lovely lady. You will always be remembered

06.01.2022 We finally have a start date! We have also changed our riding day to a Thursday, so our first day will be the 23rd July. We will be having a volunteer training & registration day on the 4th July at the RDA grounds.

04.01.2022 Just looked at the weather forecast and noticed that it's going to be pretty hot on Thursday! Of course a lot can change between now and then, so we'll see what it's really like before we make a call. Our cut off temperature is usually 36C, but it depends on the humidity too. Will keep you posted
03.01.2022 It was pretty hot earlier on - maybe not so much on the coast, but we certainly felt it where our amazing horses live. But given the sea breeze has kicked in we'll be running our groups this afternoon. See you all in a little while
03.01.2022 We have created this new Facebook page, as we are now affiliated with HorsePower Australia rather than RDA Australia. I tried to just change the name of the RDA Midwest page, but the settings unfortunately wouldn't let me do that. Please share this new page with your networks
02.01.2022 Thank you so much to the Variety Club for inviting us to their annual Christmas Party for children with special needs to provide pony rides. The kids had such a great time, but our highlight was when Santa decided to have a pony ride too
01.01.2022 We will be having a committee meeting next week to discuss our start date for this year. Our start date is usually the start of term 2, but with the current COVID-2 pandemic we may have to look at a later start date, as we work with a high risk population, and with the lack of hand sanitisers, gloves and face masks on the market we may not be able to guarantee safety for our riders as well as volunteers, as we would be unable to keep the recommended distance of 1.5m in this line of work. We will, however, keep you updated as the situation changes. Thank you all for your understanding.
