Strnnraer Happy Hoove5 RDA ha5 continued to deliver riding and horse care sessions throughout the year. Thi5 has
included our usual gi'oups of riders as well as one-off sessions for Parents Inclusion (PIN).
We undertook the Countryside Challeng¢ training with six of our participants over a number of weeks and this ended with
a mini competition which they all passed with flying colours. Some of the participants also undertook dressage tratning
and coinpleted a dressage test at the end. with all being awarded a rosette for their efforts.
Regulai, fijndraising was conducted, including bingo nights and raffles, all of which contributed to h¢lp with our running
cosls.
Regular training is ¢arri¢d out by our coaches and volunteers, including therapy and medicine and a i'egional coaching
conference.
We also had one of our long standing volunteers pass their Coaching qualification which is an enomious achievement and,
therefoKe> gives us much moly flexibility in running sessions now that we have two qualified coaches.
