Birthday for the Horses!
Woohoo! It is that time of year again! When we give our horses who have worked hard all year, helping those many children and adults who have mobility and coordination problems to build their strengths and confidence, are given a treat.
Yes! They have a birhday cake, one for each of them, and they love it!
Come on down and see them on Saturday 4 August from about 10:00 am, they will put on a display of their work with some willing volunteers. A lot of fun is had by all. If you don't know where the RDA is located, it is at the top of the Brook Valley on Tantragee Road. Kids will love meeting the horses. Mark it on your calendar now!!!
If you are too busy but would like to give them a birthday present, then you can donate through our givealittle site.
It will be a lovely day and we hope to see you there!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
