The Committee Members (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Angus Riding for the Disabled for the 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
Riders
We started 6 new riders in total, 1 of them returning to riding after a couple of years off. 1 of our exsisting riders decided to step down at the end of the year to try other activities.
Ponies
We sold Leo to one of our volunteers. He never settled fully to RDA work and would not stand at the mounting block, which made mounting the riders more difficult.
Volunteers
We had 3 new volunteers start with us this year. 2 of our very reliable exsisting volunteers stepped down to attend University but hope to help during holidays etc.
One of our riders started volunteering with us too on a Saturday morning.
Thank you to all of our volunteers who come along every week, we could not operate without their help.
General
We held our usual Group Competitions – Handy Pony, Dressage and Horse Care and Knowledge - with all riders putting in a good effort.
Our Annual Coffee Morning and Raffle was held in November and it raised just over £1,600. Thank you to everyone who supported us with raffle donations, cake and candy, bric a brac, tombola prizes and to everyone who helped on the day.
Our prize giving at the end of the year was well attended.
We grew our own hay this year. With many thanks to the Jackson family for fertilising, cutting, turning and baling it as a donation to the group. It is lovely hay, due to the hot summer we didn't get as many bales as we had hoped to feed the horses for the year, which resulted in us purchasing an additional 40 bales from Alistair Hodnett that were delivered in December.
Thanks once again to the Stodart family who donated our straw.
b. Investment policy and performance
In accordance with the Memorandum of Association, the Committee Members have the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property in the UK as they see fit. A specialist investment management firm provides an investment advisory service and maintains the portfolio. The portfolio is managed on a discretionary basis with the objective of producing a balance of income and capital growth. As the portfolio is exclusively equity investments, the risk profile is medium/high. No investments are to be made in companies involved in animal testing.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Statement of Committee Members' responsibilities
The Committee Members (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Committee Members' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Committee Members to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Committee Members must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Committee Members are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF ANGUS RIDING FOR THE DISABLED
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2025 which are set out on pages 7 to 23.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND EXAMINER
The committee members, who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 ('the Act') and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulation 2006 ('the Accounts Regulations'). The committee members consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with regulation 11 of the Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as committee members concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1)(a) of the Act and regulation 4 of the Accounts Regulations; and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records, Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and in other respects comply with regulation 8 of the Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
This report is made solely to the company's Committee Members, as a body, in accordance with regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's Committee Members those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's Committee Members as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Angus Riding for the Disabled is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, incorporated in Scotland with the registration number SC289513 and is also a registered charity with OSCR registration number SC028621. The registered office is South Bottymyre, Inverarity, By Forfar, DD8 2JR.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Angus Riding for the Disabled meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

ANGUS RIDING FOR THE DISABLED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
(A company limited by guarantee)
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Company, can be reliably measured.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the Company's accounting policies.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.4 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
| Property | - |
|---|---|
| Tenants improvements | - 10% straight Line |
| Plant and machinery | - 20% reducing balance |
| Ponies and horses | - 15% reducing balance |
2.6 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.
Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.
2.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.8 Financial instruments
The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
