How fortuitous that J week is the first week of January! Happy 2025 everyone! We hope you had a lovely restful break and are looking forward to getting back to riding and volunteering.
We have lots of exciting plans for the year ahead, including fundraising ideas, events and competitions. Stay tuned to our weekly(ish - I do my best!) blog for all the deets!
James!
No specific James related news, but we can't possibly have a J week without our favourite stable manager! And we don't want anyone to feel left out, so if you have an initial and would like to feature in the weekly(ish) blog, send me a picture and a random fact about yourself (or your pet, I loved doing pet of the week) and I'll include it!
Jumping (and Dressage news)
We are excited to announce that we are now a registered venue for 2025 Sunshine Tour for dressage and show jumping classes.
Sunshine Tour Championships is aimed for unaffiliated riders but provide that amazing championship atmosphere at the most iconic Hickstead venue.
More details on their website: https://www.sunshinetour.co.uk/
Please be aware that this is currently only available to riders with their own horses.
Join our coaching team!
Are you looking for a new challenge for the New Year? Why not join our fantastic team of volunteer RDA Coaches? Coaching requires a regular weekly commitment and is deeply rewarding. Most of our existing coaches have been with us more than 20 years which tells you just how rewarding it is. Do good and feel good! You can find out more here. If you have any questions please reach out to Kim.
Jim!
Our featured TeeShop design for J week is Art by Indigo: Jim. We've done some very cool tee designs with tie-dye and stuff, because we know fashion! And if you buy anything from our TeeMill Shop this weekend you get free delivery!
Just a quick reminder...
RDA Lessons start next week and you need to book and pay for your lessons on EC Pro to ensure we're expecting you! If you struggle to do it online we'll be in the office on Monday so you can give us a ring then, but please don't leave it until the last minute, as we need to make sure your horse is ready for you!
Jolly Good Show!
Kim has been working really hard this week updating pertinent sections of our website! She would particularly like to draw your attention to the new "Celebrating Achievements" section of the RDA Riding page.
Just in case...
It snows tomorrow! Fear not, we too have seen the weather forecast. We will be playing it by ear, and will email you if your lessons are affected. At the moment, as far as we are concerned it's business as usual.
