Lambourn RDA operates it’s therapy sessions from Manor Farm Stables in Chilton Foliat, RG17 0TJ, however we request that all correspondence is sent to our registered address, Park Farm Lodge, Upper Lambourn, Hungerford, RG17 8RD.

All terms dates can be found on our Volunteer and Participant pages.

We continue to be very busy with both riding and non-riding therapy sessions and it is great to see our participants having fun and learning new skills. As we move into Autumn we are hoping for good weather, but please do keep an eye on your messages via WhatsApp for cancellations or changes to therapy sessions.

Please do get in touch if you are interested in joining either our riding or non-riding therapy sessions, or joining us a volunteer or coach. We have also planned to run some ‘Tea with a Pony’ sessions and the dates for these can be found by following this link Tea with a Pony

Our fabulous team of seven horses and ponies are all fit and well, thanks to the great care given to them by our Yard Manager and team of grooms. Do have a look at all our horses and ponies by following this link Meet the Horses. If you would like to contribute to their upkeep, we have a great Adopt a Pony scheme, or you could give us a donation to our hay fund DONATE.

We currently have a waiting list for riding therapy, but do still get in touch as participants change all the time. There are places available for non-riding therapy sessions on Fridays. Please contact Frances on chair@lambournrda.co.uk for more information.

As well as our flat work riding and hacking, we can now offer show jumping and endurance riding. The weekly non-riding therapy sessions on Fridays are proving to be very popular with our Shetland pony, Freddie. If you would be interested in coming along, please get in touch.

NEW VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY REQUIRED

Our sessions continue to be very popular. We now have four riding therapy sessions a week at various times on a Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. We also have non-riding therapy sessions on a Friday. We offer many activities including dressage, show jumping and endurance riding, as well as ‘Tea with a Pony’ in the warmer months!

In order to keep all these sessions going, we do need lots of help, even one hour a week would make a difference. If anyone would also like to train as an RDA coach, we would love to hear from you as well.
