.jpg) Riding for the Disabled are extremely active in the Edinburgh and Borders Region and their commitment has been significantly bolstered by recent support provided by Wooden Spoon Scotland. This support has enabled RDA and member group, Equibuddy (who train their horses) to purchase and train a vaulting horse complete with lorry box, as well as undertake improvements to several of their facilities in the Scottish Borders region.
The horse which has been named “Wooden Spoon” has a passport to prove it, and he will be used by groups around the UK in providing sport and therapy for disabled children as well as competing here and internationally.
Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, who is Patron of Wooden Spoon, RDA and the Scottish Rugby Union, graciously took delivery of the horse lorry box at Murrayfield Stadium immediately prior to the kick off of the Scotland v Wales Six Nations match. National Chairman Roger Davies and Scottish Regional Chairman Charlie Bryden were on hand with Ed Bracher, Chief Executive of RDA, to show Princess Anne around the lorry box before Charlie Bryden formally presented the keys for the vehicle to Her Royal Highness.
