New Horse Marlborough Riding For The Disabled

Marlborough

I clearly remember the first day I volunteered at Marlborough Riding for the Disabled. During the 14 years since that day I been fortunate to meet many local families and their children who face the daily challenges of living with and supporting their children and family members with disabilities.

We have an amazing team of horses/staff/volunteers who enable us to give our riders therapy, physical skills, confidence, increased self-esteem and a whole lot more.

In February 2023 I will be lining up at the start line of the Kathmandu Coast 2 Coast Longest Day race. Making the course cut off times will be a huge challenge for me. I am aiming to raise some funds to go towards the purchase of a new horse for our team.

Challenge is something our RDA community is very familiar with and I am asking you to join us and help raise some funds.

Race day Round Up 19 February 2023

RACE DAY. I felt good on the start line and really thought I had done the training to complete the Coast 2 Coast longest day, but I also knew I didnt have much spare time to get through the cutoffs and the challenge was real. The stiff head wind and a clumsy transition onto the first bike ate into the small buffer I had. I really enjoyed my 55km bike and the 30km mountain run but that is where my race finished. While I didnt reach my race goal of completing the longest day, I most defiantly reached my goal of raising awareness for Marlborough Riding for the Disabled and also massive thanks to all who so kindly donated money so we can purchase a new horse for our program. Thank you all so much for getting behind this fundraiser.
