Our Horses

A Special Tribute to Sunny

 

ARIAT SUNSHINE is better known at RDA as SUNNY. He came to our Centre in

2000, after a very successful Show and Competition career. Helen Huckerby had

tried to buy him for RDA for some time and everyone was very excited when the

beautiful palomino arrived. He proved to be as good as we had been told. His

wonderful nature made him a real favourite with everyone who had the pleasure of

working with him. Many a novice driver enjoyed a soft nuzzle as an introduction to a

carriage driving session. In RDA and open competitions, he won many ribbons and

was always a “showy” pony to take on trail rides, street parades, etc. He gave much pleasure to all and it was a great pity to lose him the way we did.

A beautiful pony, sadly missed!

 

Pluto Joins RDA

An anonymous donor has generously donated a life sized brass style horse to

our Centre. At their request, the horse is named “Pluto”. Pluto will be an easy

care member of our horse team. He eats sparingly, requires little exercise

or water, and has a no veterinary needs!

 

Pluto will be used as a learning tool to educate our riders in the parts of the

horse. Pluto can also be used to learn how to saddle, and at the more basic

level will help acclimatise new riders to the riding experience. Pluto will also be

taken to our external events to promote our Centre. One of his first duties

was to be on display at the Annual Book Sale in June.
