About

Pegasus RDA receive no external funding, so we are 100% reliant on grants, donations and fundraising to allow us to continue to provide our life-enhancing activities.

Our biggest outgoings are the upkeep costs of our ponies, Ruby and Tyson, which are around £16,500 a year - we have a dedicated pony upkeep donation page for Ruby and Tyson (Pegasus RDA Pony Upkeep Donation Page). We also hire horses to use in our sessions, these horse hire costs are around £5,000 a year (currently covered by a Children in Need grant).

In addition to the above, we need to fund our core operating costs, amounting to an additional £2,000 each year. These outgoings include:

  • Insurance and membership fees
  • Specialised lesson equipment and adapted tack
  • Website and phone charges
  • IT and stationery equipment
  • Volunteer DBS checks and training
  • Hand sanitiser and cleaning supplies

Our little charity is run completely on a voluntary basis - we have no paid staff and 100% of money donated to us is used to fund the essential items above.  Without the amazing generosity of our supporters, we simply could not do what we do - Thank You!

Rider Spotlight - Ella

Our wonderful rider, Ella is ten years old, and has been riding with us since 2017. Horse riding has been proven to help wheelchair users like Ella by increasing core strength and relaxing tight muscles.  Even though she is non-verbal, it is easy to see how much Ella enjoys her sessions - the smiles and giggles are obvious to all. Ella has a cheeky personality - she will often decide to "take a nap" during her lesson and lie down on the pony's back!, awesome dress sense (pink, unicorns, sparkly shoes - you name it!) and is very popular with our ponies and volunteers. The photos below show how much Ella has progressed since beginning her riding sessions with us.

On Saturday 30th July, Ella will be helping us do some fundraising by packing shopping bags at Asda in Altrincham. Ella and her lovely mum Alisa will be there between 11.00 and 12.00 - It would be great if you could come and support her!

What's With all the Cheese?

You might have noticed a number of donations making reference to cheese on our page recently.  The reason behind this is one of our fantastic volunteers, Julie, who has pledged to go vegan until 16th July to raise some funds for our group.  Julie is a self-confessed cheese lover, so this challenge really will take an enourmous amount of willpower!  Please support Julie if you can!


Thank You! xx
