In a few short weeks will be the kick off of the Paris 2024 Paralympic games, with the opening ceremony taking place on Wednesday the 28th of August.
We’re super excited to watch and marvel at the para-equestrian athletes, especially those with a connection to RDA. We can’t wait to cheer on Mari Durward-Akhurst, Natasha Baker, Georgia Wilson and Sophie Wells from Team GB, and also to cheer on Austen Burns from Team Canada, who rides with Omagh RDA in Northern Ireland.
