Cranleigh RDA Group
Offers therapeutic riding to people with special needs to benefit their health and well being, to achieve their goals and to have fun!
The experience gained through riding and contact with our horses and our volunteers helps them develop self esteem, confidence and independence.
As a voluntary organisation (registered charity no. 1125242) our group receives no state or lottery funding at all. We rely entirely on donations and our fundraising.
Cranleigh Golf Club Charity of the Year 2023
We were delighted to be chosen as the Cranleigh Golf Club Captains’ Charity for 2023 by all three Captains: Men’s Captain, Doug Balchin; Ladies’ Captain, Mandy Perrin; and Seniors’ Captain, Andrew Sanders.
Thanks to their energy and enthusiasm in organising numerous fundraising events, and the wonderful generosity of the Club’s members in supporting those events, we were presented with a cheque for over £10,000 at their annual Presentation Evening.
With this donation, we were able to purchase our 10th Horse, Jet – and keep him fed and shod for some time to come!
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Cranleigh Golf Club.
Christmas at Casi’s Farm, December 2023
Sunday 3rd December 2023 was International Day for Persons with Disabilities.
We saw that as a great opportunity to bring together everyone who helps make Cranleigh RDA such a wonderful community: riders, coaches, volunteers, stables team, directors, donors, supporters, neighbours – and last but not least, our 10 wonderful four-legged friends! Of course, we don’t just think of people with disabilities on this one day of the year. We care about our riders all year round, giving them the riding opportunities which bring them both enjoyment and fulfilment.
Volunteers
Cranleigh RDA has over 190 volunteers who assist with riding or running the charity.
