A great Birthday Party!!
Please support our wonderful Nelson branch of Riding for the Disabled, the hard-working staff who do what they do so well for love as much as pay, all our volunteers and of course all our awesome riders who gain so much from the therapy. We are delighted that once again we will hold the annual Horses Birthday at 11am on Saturday (the perfect day!!) 1 August, giving the community the opportunity to see their work in action. Some riders will demonstrate their riding skills (in some cases this is the only outdoor sport they can participate in), there will be prizegiving and a light lunch. Please support this wonderful institution and help us get rid of the waiting list with donations for much needed additional horses. If you can't come on the day, you can always donate through our Givealittle page - Whakatu RDA
