Marlborough Riding for the Disabled

Marlborough Riding for the Disabled Marlborough RDA Group is a non profitable organisation. Our focus is to make a positive difference. Our vision is to reach more riders and change more lives

RDA provides interaction with horses to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for people experiencing disability, or who have specific challenges or needs, enabling them to have meaningful participation in, and contribution to, their community. RDA is all about providing goal-based riding activities that increase the ability, strength and confidence of people with physical, intellectual, emotional and social challenges.

Over the next week I would like to introduce our restaurant partners for our upcoming event "Courses For Horses" on 11th June.
If you missed that post - go to our website to learn more about it.
www.mrda.org.nz

First up is Amrut & VJ. We got to know Amrut in 2024 as he was a supporter of our first "Courses For Horses" with his restaurant Cancun Eats Mexican Restaurant. Since then he has opened his second restaurant in town A-J’s BBQ Restaurant , which has great smoked bbq meats - good texan type food.
Both restaurants will be participating in our event - 6 seats available at each.
Both these restaurants have a casual atmosphere, the food is great and Amrut and VJ are great hosts.

Remember tickets to the event go online Monday morning..

Watch this space - Join us on 11th June
We are currently working with an amazing group of local restauranteurs to once again support us for our 'Courses for Horses' fundraising dinner.
Concept: Local restaurants donate a table in kind to RDA, we then sell tickets and on June 11th at 6:30pm everyone will be dining around town at the restaurant of their choice, and then meet at 5Tapped Limited for an after dinner drink (cash bar), chat with others and a silent auction.
Menus are getting finalised now and tickets will be on sale next week - so grab your friends and get ready to purchase as in 2024 this event sold out very quickly.

Visit our website with more details. Bookings will go live next Monday at 10:00am - book through our website.
