Sal Atkinson, RDA Fundraising and Events Manager, said:
“We are thrilled that Clare and Alastair are joining us for the RDA Gala Awards, to have their support is a huge boost for RDA. The outstanding achievements of RDA participants, volunteers, supporters and horses will be acknowledged during the evening - giving us the chance to thank those who make what we do possible.”

“'Riding was a part of my childhood and is central to the lives of two of our children. What it offers disabled people - pleasure, excitement, comradeship, even therapy- is amazing. I am honoured to support RDA & greatly look forward to the event”.
The evening will also include a live auction of exclusive items including a VIP behind the scenes tour of the Spanish Riding School UK event, a private visit to Jonjo O’Neill’s training facility and gallops, plus a chance to visit the ITV News HQ in London and see the Evening News transmission from the control room.
