WCRDA are very sad to acknowledge the passing of the legendary Sabrina.

Sabrina was the first horse purchased by WCRDA, and was a trusty RDA steed for 11 years! She took many people for their first ride. Sabrina was a very special friend to many riders, volunteers and coaches.
In 2021, Sabrina left RDA to enjoy a semi retired life with Bonnie and Belinda. We want to thank them for the incredible care they gave Sabrina in her later years, she lived a Beautiful lifešŸ’•

Rest in peace Sabrina, you are lovedā¤ļøšŸ¦„

Big thanks to granddaughters who went above and beyond granddaughterly duties, by helping me collect worms for wildfoods. Not quite so grateful to the one who put this weta in with the worms, causing me to squeal more than once until I realised I needed to remove it completely!

An amazing array of fabulous West Coast RDA horses and ponies at the Kokatahi-Kowhitirangi Pony Club Mini Show last weekend. From our smallest pony, Sandy, who is worth his weight in gold, with his devoted rider, Luella all the way up to Toby with Lissy who has worked hard to really improve his abilities. Then mother and daughter team, Lexi and Lucy, who both behaved their best ever for the day with Cooper and Ciara. Harley with Mikayla deservedly won their first ever wide ribbon (only given for champions and reserve champions), and our brand new Sterling shone at his first outing with Anne who has worked so hard with him over the summer break.
Really, we couldn't have asked for better behaviour from any of them (well, maybe with one small quick exception). And the competence from all their riders was a pleasure to see!

Well, that was a BIG load of hay - thanks to Hayden Hahn, Coastwide Forage Solutions Ltd.
But thanks to an amazing group of helpers the RDA hay all got put away in the barn and the rest into about 16 trailers/floats for people to take home for their own horses. Special thanks to Kiwis Rugby club - Kyle Parker, Matthew Olson and others - who aren't even horsey!
Add your name in the comments to ensure you don't miss out on a fun opportunity when the next load arrives!
