We were delighted to receive a generous donation of £900 from the Dormansland Horse and Dog Show. DHDS has supported us for many years, and we are very grateful. This year we had the opportunity to attend ourselves with a display stand, and much enjoyed the day.
A big thank you to all the team at DHDS who make this donation possible.
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.
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!
