PONY SPONSORSHIP SCHEME
Will you help and sponsor a pony like Jim?
We are a small volunteer group of the RDA that provides therapeutic riding for 32 children every Monday morning. We are based in Moray and offer sessions to children from schools in Forres, Nairn & District. We are proud of the fact that we are the only RDA Group in the UK that makes no charge to the children. By the time we cover the hire of the ponies, suitably trained coaches plus the appropriate insurances, we are looking at nearly £700 per week. As a result, our fundraising is a continuous consideration.
Businesses
As part of our fundraising, we are now offering the opportunity for local businesses to sponsor a pony for its RDA work. We have eight carefully chosen and well-trained ponies from specialised horse trainers. The ponies range in size from 11hh to 15hh so that we can cater to children of all ages and sizes.
So what are we offering?
- Mentions and photos on our Facebook page and this website
- Your company’s very own banner which will be displayed at our sessions
- Your company’s information displayed at our events
- Use of photos of your sponsored pony in your own company advertising
So, why not get in early and have maximum exposure.
Individual/Private/Part Sponsorship
Why not get together with family, friends or colleagues to sponsor a pony? Hold a fundraising event at work, or, as Margaret and John did during lockdown, donate the money saved on dining out and entertainment to sponsoring Aria.

What are we looking for?
To sponsor one pony for 1 child to ride for 32 weeks – £500 (for new sponsors from September 2021)
This can be paid as a one-off payment or in instalments – which can be discussed to suit you.
Please contact us for further information.
