The Stella Hayward RDA Group has been helping disabled people since 1972.
Stella Hayward RDA
addressed to:

Our group caters for about 34 riders with very different needs, at 3 seperate venues.
This means it is necessary to have up to 12 suitable and specially trained, ponies with wonderful temperaments.
Ponies we can work with and ponies we can trust. Ponies the riders can trust!
Day-to-day costs
(contributions towards feeding, shoeing, routine vet attention, worming, vaccinations, etc)
and the expense of running a lorry
(solely used for RDA and needed for transport to the riding venues)
have risen significantly over past years, especially fuel !
The Group also finds itself burdened with costs of complying with ever-increasing demands of Health and Safety legislation and Insurance stipulations.
The Trustees are very concerned at the increased need to generate sufficient funds annually.
Failure to do so will severely limit what this Group has to offer in the future.
