Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We will be doing the Titan Zip Wire in North Wales -  the longest in Europe. It is2,000 meters long and at times travels at 70 mph. I think I must be losing the plot to even consider it!!

I have been working with RDA Abingdon Group for 41 years, and as the years go by we realise how immensely important riding is to many disabled people.   10 minutes on a horse is said to produce 1000 3D movements, all of which the rider has to work with.  The result of this is that core strength is improved, balance and confidance gained.  Riding has to be fun above all else, and we do many different activities with our riders, including fun days, pony days, picnics, competitions.  We have 11 amazing horses/ponies, and need one more to bring our Centre up to full strength.  At present we have 96 riders, 17 classes a week, and about 160 volunteers.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving they never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they send your money directly to the charity. So it the most efficient way to donate saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
