The Sun’s out and so are we

longfurlongrda.org.uk Posted on May 21, 2022 by Patcham-1969May 21, 2022

It’s been all about the weather and who doesn’t love talking about the weather?! We equestrians have a particular interest in the weather as it is a deciding factor on many things for our equine friends and us, including our weekly riding plans! 😊 Certainly a mixed bag of sunshine and showers as well as thundery downpours this week but fortunately on Wednesday it was a ‘sun’s out and the smiles are big’ kind of … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday to a wonderful volunteer

longfurlongrda.org.uk Posted on May 5, 2022 by Patcham-1969May 8, 2022

It was a very Happy Birthday to our wonderful LFRDA volunteer, and friend, Jean who celebrated a special birthday last Saturday. Thanks to Judy for putting the celebration together at the stables after our riding sessions.

Cash for Clothes

longfurlongrda.org.uk Posted on April 14, 2022 by Patcham-1969April 14, 2022

The arena gallery was a bit more colourful yesterday morning with a rail of lovely preloved clothing. A big thank you to everyone that came to the session with clothing to sell, with all proceeds being kindly donated to the group. Quite a few items of ‘purple RDA kit’ were donated, it’s always good to extend the lifecycle of our clothing, and hopefully the buyer gets to love it as much as we did! 🙂 … Continue reading →

Can’t have a wedding without bales of straw!

longfurlongrda.org.uk Posted on April 2, 2022 by Patcham-1969April 2, 2022

Many congratulations to Jess and Josh who got married last Saturday. They had the most beautiful wedding and having horses surrounding them in the fields was the icing on the cake. Jess looked every bit a dream in her stunning dress, although most of us are more used to seeing her in muddy riding boots when helping us at RDA! We couldn’t be happier for them and we wish them all the love and happiness … Continue reading →

If you would be interested in volunteering … Continue reading →
