About

At Pegasus RDA, we believe in the transformative power of equine therapy, which is why we are dedicated to providing life-enhancing activities for individuals in our community. However, we rely entirely on the generosity of our supporters, as we receive no external funding. Your donations play a crucial role in helping us continue our mission.

Our primary expense is the care of our beloved ponies, Tyson and Bobby, which costs approximately £16,000 each year. These ponies are not just animals; they are a vital part of our programme, bringing joy and healing to our participants. To ensure their well-being, we have set up a dedicated donation page that directly supports their upkeep (Pegasus RDA Horse Upkeep Donation Page).

In addition to pony care, we incur significant costs for renting the facilities at the North Cheshire Equestrian Centre, where we hold our sessions every Sunday morning, and for hiring additional ponies to enrich our program. These expenses total an additional £7,500 annually.

We also need to cover our core operating costs, which amount to £3,000 each year. This includes essential expenses such as insurance, specialised lesson equipment, website and communication charges, volunteer training, and more.

Every donation we recieve goes directly into the critical areas outlined above, as we operate on a completely voluntary basis—there are no paid staff, and 100% of contributions are used to sustain our vital work.

Without the incredible support of our donors, our charity could not thrive. Your generosity empowers us to continue our programs and make a positive impact in the lives of our participants. Please consider making a donation today. Together, we can create lasting change and bring joy to those who need it most.

Thank you for helping us make a difference!

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!
