ANNUAL SPONSORED FUN RIDE
GOOD FRIDAY 3RD APRIL 2026

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED OUR SPONSORED FUN RIDE 2026.
YOUR GENEROSITY ENABLED US TO RAISE £13,000 TO HELP PROVIDE RIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

We were delighted to welcome over 120 guest riders to our Sponsored Fun Ride 2026 on Good Friday and we thank them for supporting our main fundraising event of the year.

We particularly appreciated the positive feedback, including comments such as:

“It was a brilliant ride again. So well organised, thanks to everyone involved for making it happen.”

“Just to say thank you so much for putting on another fabulous ride. My mare and I had an amazing time. The route was well marked out and all the helpers were lovely!”

Thanks also for the contributions from the many organisations that sponsored the event, namely: Cranleigh Lions; Duke of Kent School; HG Freight; John Murray Butchers; Le Mieux; Lillico Attlee Country Stores; LRG Photography; Mayes & Scrine Equine Vets; P&P Glass; Rokers Animal Feeds, Equestrian & Country Store; Rosier Business Park; Waitrose; and West Surrey Riding Club.

And thanks to everyone who donated via our JustGiving page: https://justgiving.com/campaign/sfr2026

All these generous contributions helped us to raise a total of £13,000, every penny of which goes directly towards maintaining the health and wellbeing of our horses and upkeep of our facilities.

Finally, thanks to our wonderful team of volunteers who make this annual event happen, as it has done now 44 times.

At our annual Christmas get-together for volunteers and supporters, we were delighted to accept a cheque for £2,000 from Cranleigh Masons, which they raised for us at different events they held during 2025.

To ensure our riders have the best possible riding experience every time they come to Casi’s Farm, our stables team is continuosuly training and developing our ponies.

As just one example, this video shows then working on some hoist training with Rupert. It’s no easy task, but our team’s dedication never falters.

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.
