Fun Day

Each years events have included a Fun Day where we invite members of the public to look around our facilities and enjoy an afternoon with us. The event helps to raise much needed funds. This year we raised around £1000 at the Fun Day. Which was held at St Ebba's Farm in July. The aims of the event are to give us a chance to show the public the benefits that our riders get from the service we provide and to bring the riders, their families and the helpers together to enjoy themselves. On the day we have riding demonstrations in the riding school and other attractions and stalls set out over St Ebba's Farm. Finance is raised on the day through local sponsorship, various game stalls, tombolas, raffles and bric-a- brac stalls etc.

Past fun day events included:

Royal Visit 2006 : HRH The Princess Royal Visits Regional Fun Day
Date: Tuesday 9th May 2006


We were delighted to welcome our patron, HRH The Princess Royal to our Annual Fun Day held at Epsom RDA. Her Royal Highness was invited to open the Group's Stables followed by a tour of the areanas where hundreds of our riders from throughout the regions came to participate in a range of events.

One year we had a python on show who proved to be quite friendly and popular with those brave enough to have a close look.

The musical ride was a big hit as always. It was enthusiasticly performed to the Charlston. The horses and riders were decorated with feathers. A big thankyou to everyone for putting in so much time and effort.

We also had a performance from prize winners of the Harold Newton Dressage competition. Well done to all!

There will be another Harold Newton Dressage competition next year held at the St Ebbas Farm, The date is yet to be arranged. Further details coming soon!

Horseman's Sunday

We usually take some of our horses with disabled riders up to Epsom Downs in September when Horseman's Sunday is held. This yearly event is held on the Downs inside the racecourse. There is an interdenominational service in which thanks are given for the horses and the ponies. This is followed by a parade of the horses round the Tattenham Corner section of the Derby Course. Everyone participating receives a rosette.

Horse Shows:
We hold an Annual Open Horse Show at EpsomRDA. The main purpose of the show is to raise funds for the Group but it also provides good publicity and brings our Group to the attention of the horse riding community. Funds are raised for the show through sponsorship from local businesses and people and entrance fees paid by the competitors. Each show class is judged by experienced judges who kindly donate their time to the show.
