We recently took some lovely photos of our Monday riders. Everyone seems to be having a great time.

The East Grinstead Common Good Trust have made a most generous donation of £3,600 towards our fund to buy a larger pony for our riders. This is a great boost and we are now have 75% of our planned expenditure. All we have to do now is find a suitable pony and sadly they are few and far between. Hope to bring you further news soon.

Our kind friends at Waitrose East Grinstead nominated us for a donation of £525 from their Give a Little Love initiative. We are very grateful.

We have been looking for a larger pony for some of our heavier riders and The Royal Warrant Holders Association have very kindly granted us £3,000 towards the cost. Our ponies need a very special temperament to bear our disabled riders, and the right pony is very hard to find. This donation is particularly valuable as we now have the certainty of some of the funds being immediately available.

One of our Trustees, Katie Giddings, whose husband’s company Milborrow Chimney Sweeps holds a Royal Warrant, put us forward for this grant. We are very grateful to both her, and the RWHA for the donation. All we have to do now is find the right pony!

The Dormansland Horse and Dog Show have been long term supporters and we are very grateful to them. We had a stand this year and met lots of friends, old and new. It was a lovely hot sunny day and the show was a great success, with lots of competitors, both equine and canine (with their riders and handlers. We particularly enjoyed the family atmosphere of the show.
