About Glasgow Riding for the Disabled Association Christmas Fayre

Yule not want to miss the Christmas Fayre being held by the Glasgow Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA)!

The fundraising event takes place on Saturday 7 December 2024 from 11am to 3pm at the Glasgow RDA facility – Sandyflat, Caldercuilt Road, Summerston, G23 5NA.

The festive fun includes pony rides and Santa’s Grotto. There will also be a prize tombola and raffle, stalls, Craft Corner and refreshments – not forgetting 'pat a pony' to help keep everyone entertained.

There's neigh better way to get into the festive spirit! Please note, it's cash only, with all proceeds going to help support the fantastic work of the Glasgow RDA charity (no charge for entry).

A spokesperson said: "Last year’s Christmas Fayre was really popular, with lots of local families and RDA participants joining in on the fun. Community events like this are great for our younger riders to get used to busier places with more people about.

“Sometimes the kids go back for three or four pony rides or ‘pat a pony’ in the stable yard. It’s a real festive treat!”

For more info, visit www.facebook.com/rdaglasgow and https://rdaglasgow.org, email rda@rdaglasgow.org or call 0141 945 1369.

Every year, the Glasgow RDA welcomes more than 200 children and adults with disabilities from across the Greater Glasgow area – providing therapy, fitness, skills development and opportunities for progression.

There's no age limit, with attendees ranging from young patients at the Royal Hospital for Children who are recovering their strength after cancer surgery to people living with dementia treasuring the opportunity to nuzzle into a pony’s neck.

The Glasgow RDA focuses on the therapeutic and health benefits of bringing people and horses together. Activities on offer, thanks to the support of around 100 volunteers, include:

* Hippotherapy
* School riding sessions
* Equine therapy sessions
* Adult equine therapy sessions
* Stable management sessions
* Tea with a pony.

More than half of the participants are autistic and experience anxiety related to their condition. Horses have been found to be therapeutic for people with anxiety and the soothing effects last after the sessions are complete.
