New Yatt Riding for the Disabled
Achievement and performance
This year we celebrated our 40 anniversary and our mission to enrich people's lives through
horses has never been more relevant, as evidenced by our long Waiting List. The Trustees
have presided over another year of site improvements in addition to ongoing maintenance
requirements. Ivhat was a three-year fencing replacement plan, had to be fast tracked this
year as the ponies pushed their way through rotten rails. The final run of around 230m of
fcncing remain to be installed next year. In addition, the guttering on the stalls building and
barn was replaced and inore hard standing was installed ahead of the winter.
Siiicere thanks go to our Trustees, Coaches and helpers for their commitment to our cause.
This is another year when we were all stretched thinner than we would liave liked and forced
to reduce what we can offer to our participants, which is always sad.
We currently have an impressive 88 volunteers, yet we are still looking to recruit further
volunteers, particularly at weekends, to avoid cancellation of sessions and to allow us to take
further riders from our extensive waiting list.
Our biggest challenge at the moment is finding new coaches. The availability of coaches
places rcstrictioiis on the nuinber of rides we can offer per week. We are actively looking for
new coaches, but RDA coaches are generally in short supply and we caniiot compete with
larger RDA centres wlio can afford to pay them for their tiine.
We still own six horses of different sizes and temperaments that cater for a wide range of
riders. The reduction in rides offered had an impact on them too and resulted in additional
exercise and schooling being arranged for all the ponies in an effort to manage their weights
and well-being. The Countryside Challeiige Course, opeiied last year, has proven very
popular and riding out in the hayfield gave pleasure to all involved.
Financial review
This year we continued to invest heavily in yard maiiitenance, fencing and improving the
field gateways to make thein safer to negotiate during the wet winter months. We also had to
carry out extensive repairs to our leaking arena roof. In total, we spent nearly £30,000 on
these projects.
Overall, we concluded the year with a deficit of £24,974. We still have hcalthy cash reserves
of nearly £44,000 which will fund our ongoinLy ficld and yard iinprovement projects. Wc have
also restarted our fundraisingT efforts and submitted various graiit applications which will
hopefully raise further funds in the next financial year. In addition, we also reviewed our
riding fee which is heavily subsidised by donations to inake our activities inore affordable for
our riders. We had kept this fee corAStant at £ l O per ride for the last four years but felt that due
to the significantly increased costs of providing our activities, this was no longer sustainable.
The Trustees therefore took the difficult decision to increase the riding fee to £15 per ride
from I" September 2024.
