25.01.2022 Jasper Placing in the Fancy Dress

25.01.2022 Hi everyone, we had a great day today with the students and horses learning more things. Now we have a short break due to school holidays. So will catch everyone once we are back. Exciting things happening. For those who are not in our area here is the paper clippings from our story in our local paper called the Ensign. I want to thank them for their support in keeping us alive in the community.

23.01.2022 Hi everyone, I'm so happy with our performance at Games Day in Shep. We came 4th out of seven. Which is quite an achievement considering we have never done it before and didn't know what to expect. I'm so proud of our riders. Declan, Ben, Sara and Zara. And with our the volunteers that helped me Saturday getting everything ready as well as leading the horses Sunday and making sure everything was in place. We won our first event thanks to Tim and Declan storming home to just cross the line first. Thank you so much to the parents for bring the kids along and supporting us as well. And for those that gave a helping hand on the day. Here are some pics of the kids receiving their 4 th place over all for the day. And also on their mounts. From left Ben on Tom, Declan on Tim, Zara on Pete and Sara on Bud.

22.01.2022 Whoo Hoo we made front page!

20.01.2022 Hi everyone, Its has been a few weeks since my last post. With the school holidays and rain postponing our classes it's been disappointing. But we finally got a nice day yesterday. The students enjoyed a trail ride yesterday. And great to see all their smiling faces. Our raffle is finally up and running so look for the tickets around town in our local business. They are a main supporters and have been fantastic with donating so many prizes. To many to list. There is prizes for everyone's needs. It's to be drawn on the Wednesday the 30th of September. Regards Carolyn Hood.

16.01.2022 Hi Everyone, what a great day had last week. The pictures are of our horses last week going over our new bridge. Thanks to Neil Lewis and Leon Myers for building the bridge and STY Steel Wangaratta and Benalla Timber for donating materials and time to building the bridge. The children loved it. We are going to new exciting things this year to our riding course and the bridge is just one of them.

08.01.2022 Morning Everyone For our loyal RDA Benalla fans please pic up and Ensign today and you will see we are on the front cover. With a story about us inside. I will fill you in on our days activity later.

05.01.2022 Hi everyone, We finally kicked off the year yesterday. We have some new students and same old ones. We also have some new horses on board this year. Thanks to Emily Dux who has leased Jack to us and her neighbours pony Ginger. Everyone had a great day. Looking forward to the rest of the year. Missed those smiles on the children's faces. And that's why we all do it. There will be photos to follow of our day.

04.01.2022 Hi everyone the day has come for the RDA Games. We spent yesterday shampooing horses and cleaning gear for today. Thanks to Marina, Jess and Olivia for volunteering their time today and helping yesterday. Without people like them today this wouldn't happen. Like I said there will be lots of pics to follow after today. Good Luck to our students Declan, Ben, Saha and Zara. We could only take 4 riders which is sad but at least we are participating. A big thank you to the parent...s that are coming to watch their children achieve such a great experience. And also to Carol Doherty for organising the whole event today as well. I don't know if a lot of people realise that everything we do is volunteer work, including Carol who would of put many hours in for this day to happen. As we all have leading up to today. RDA Benalla is just happy to go today and give our kids a great day out with their best friends Tom, Tim, Bud and Pete (horses) what ever the outcome. We are just there to have fun. So I will sign off now as have to get myself ready before finishing off the horses before we load up and head off. Regards Carolyn Hood President/Head Coach See more
