A big thankyou to all our supporters including among others Mendip Farmers point to point.

2021 Sees a welcome return for us to the Point to Point after a difficult period during Covid lockdown.

“A whole year of weekly lessons held every Tuesday at Burcott Riding Centre had to be abandoned. Riders have missed the fun of exciting pancake races and Easter fun rides and Father Christmas missed giving the riders their presents.  All the riders and volunteers are so looking forward to starting the sessions again. Riding is great therapy for the children as is their interaction with volunteers, but it is very difficult trying to socially distance while helping a child on a pony.”

Do you have a spare pony?

During lockdown all the smaller ponies have been retired so when the RDA return the smaller children will desperately need loan ponies.

“We would be very grateful for any help to enable us to start sessions again including renewing paperwork and fundraising.  Burcott RDA is 30 years old — we want to be able to carry on offering therapeutic riding lessons for many more years.”
