My RDA story with Broadlands
My name is Oliver I am 8 years old I started riding with Broadlands back in 2022 I really struggled with I first went because I’ve never been around horses before but everyone was so kind up there and made me feel at ease.
After a little while I got on the horse which was creagy once I was on him I was in love I absolutely love riding creagy he is my favourite horse at Broadlands’s and he always makes me feel so much better when I go up on a Thursday morning. Fast forward to July 2023 I took part in my first horse show I was so nervous and excited but once I got going I was fine. After taking part in 3 different categories I then took part in the final one where I become reserved champion I was over the moon.
Since then I have taken home a lot of rosettes and they hang proudly in the house. Thursday is the best day of the week when I get to go up to the stables and see all the horses and the volunteers who I absolutely love to chat too. I would be lost without Broadlands’s I can’t explain how happy it makes me feel being up there and riding, They have changed my life so much thank you Broadlands for everything you have done.
