The Avon Centre hosted an absolutely brilliant day with a lovely welcoming and peaceful atmosphere, so thank you very much and well done!! 👏🏻 My first visit to the Centre and loved it. The horse riding simulator experience was fantastic to try, & we loved the demo by @aspolice Mounted Section 🐴. Great news that so much money was raised for such a deserving cause!

Attended with a group of children 13.03.26. Fabulous place, highly recommended. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who ensured a very special afternoon was had by all. Thank you.

Used to come here EVERY Saturday (before heading off to watch City play). I have many fond memories of The Riding Centre. Horses are really friendly and patient. The staff are absolutely excellent. Gill Edwards (wonder if she's still there?) was extremely helpful as well. All the best, guys and girls (and our friendly 4 legged horses). Ben

The RDA have been amazing with my 11 year old ASD daughter. She struggled to communicate at first but now is able to communicate so much better with the two coaches she has. They have been very understanding when my daughter has had a few wobbles which as a parent enables me to relax and know she is in safe hands. She enjoys coming every week to the RDA she will ensure we attend any open days, competitions, and Shetland pony walks. The best part is she’s made a life long friend here as she doesn’t currently have any of her own at school. Although she continues to ride elsewhere and has been riding since she was 8 her confidence only really grew with communication since she started at the RDA less than a year ago. Also younger sister enjoys coming to enjoy rides every now and again when an event takes place. Thank you RDA ❤️

A wonderful Open Day, friendly and accommodating staff, and organised really well despite the large crowds. Thank you for your hospitality and to Cricket for the ride!
