Please help Riding for the Disabled Waikouaiti fund an Indoor Arena for a warmer safer riding experience.

We often have to cancel our scheduled days because of the bad weather and this can be a huge stress and disappointment for our attendants, especially those who struggle with Anxiety and Autism. We operate at the Waikouaiti Race Course and most our attendants have to travel, it is a long journey to arrive and have the weather change and be told its cancelled. Its also located in a spot that seems to get a lot of wind which isn't nice. If it has rained the day before the grounds can also be too wet to operate.

Building an Indoor Arena will mean providing a safer facility with a soft riding surface, it will also mean we can continue our service regardless of the weather conditions which is always a ongoing issue for our service.

Bonus, our Indoor Arena will be hired out to the public! We believe this will also help our small community grow. The Arena could be used for schools and other groups in the wider community. Money from hiring out the Arena will go towards the running costs of the Arena.

Please note that if the Indoor Arena for any reason cannot be completed your generous donations will not be profit and still be used for Waikouaiti Riding for the Disabled, the money will go towards safer equipment, upgrading equipment, horse maintenance and feed.
