LFRDA for together days

longfurlongrda.org.uk Posted on September 13, 2025 by Patcham-1969September 13, 2025

The saddest thing about having a holiday is not seeing our equine friends as much, which means we were excited to be reunited and bring the herd (ponies and people) together. Last term we had so many dry sessions it was only a matter of time before having some wet ones but, after the downpours, our beautiful stables are looking much greener, it was needed! This week, our cherished horses and ponies ensured they looked … Continue reading →

longfurlongrda.org.uk Posted on September 8, 2025 by Patcham-1969September 8, 2025

    Despite the soggy start to September we hope everyone has been enjoying the summer break. The horses have had a well earned holiday, behaving themselves, looking beautifully relaxed, unwinding and making the most of the tranquillity of their peaceful surroundings. For us it’s time to get out of our airy sandals and back into our boots, back to our routines and back to doing what we love. Hands up, who’s excited for a … Continue reading →

Happy holidays you beauties

longfurlongrda.org.uk Posted on August 23, 2025 by Patcham-1969August 23, 2025

Summer holidays are go! As we start our break the horses and ponies are enjoying a well earned rest too from their RDA work. They are relaxing in their fields, happy as can be, making memories with their herd mates and, although they might be on holiday, the gang still needs daily care to make sure their needs are met. It will be lovely to be re-united with them in September but even heart of … Continue reading →
