    Jake is one of our riders in our 3-Hour relay on the 30th of November. Jake has been riding for 18 years, he started at 4 years of age and is now a fine young man at 22 years, is an integral part of our RDA team and rides like a pro!

    This is what Jake had to say when asked what RDA has meant to him: “Wednesday is my favourite day of the week because it is RDA day. When I’m riding Peggy, I don’t have a disability. I feel free, I am strong, and I am in control of both Peggy and my body.

    I’m so proud how far I have come. When I first started at I couldn’t even sit on a horse without support. Now I ride by myself. Riding has given me the confidence I can achieve anything I want to.

    I cannot thank all the volunteers enough who have supported me through my RDA journey and still do. Giving their time so for 30 minutes once a week I feel like a superhero”
