Chair Report 2023/2024
Freya has settled in really well and is enjoying her RDA work. She needs to continue her education off the stables now which will start as soon as my horsebox if ready.
Casper is doing well. He’s in regular turnout and has remained sound so he will commence work again end of July which will be 12 months. Hopefully he will remain sound through this.
All sessions are full except.
In terms of the future, I do have some worries. Costs have already skyrocketed, which as put a strain on all aspects of the charity, we have had a decrease in our volunteer numbers and the total amount people are willing to pay for a session or donate.
I worry if we increase prices too much our sessions will be too expensive for many people. It is hoped that by opening up
more non-ridden groups sessions and sharing with HunnyBeez extra income can be achieved. We are also hiring out some of the facilities as well.
I would also like to enter the RDA virtual show this year as well.
I do feel we need some more committee members, the work load is becoming
increasingly hard for myself so an active secretary to help with the general running of
meetings etc would be helpful. With the fundraising for the indoor arena, someone with marketing and fundraising experience would be a great help as well.
As always I would like to thank the trustees and volunteers for their help.
