WHERE THE MONEY RAISED GOES
All proceeds for this ride go to Cranleigh RDA group which is run by volunteers and totally depends on fundraising to run the organisation. The Group is based at Casi’s Farm Cranleigh, and provides riding for over 220 riders with special needs each week. Every penny you raise on this sponsored ride will be going to keep the ponies in good health and comfort so that they can continue doing this worthwhile job.
Please support our ponies and riders
VOLUNTEERING
We are always looking for volunteers. You don't have to be experienced with horses or people with special needs, just have enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and have at least two hours to spare. You will quickly see that this work is very rewarding and fulfilling to everyone, helpers and rid-ers alike. More information is available on this website or phone our Chairman Liz Harrison on 01483 222429.
