The Badminton Ride 2022

The Badminton Ride 2022 is Supporting Alabare.
‍
“Alabaré offers supported accommodation, training and education to the marginalised, vulnerable and homeless through 75 dedicated Homes and Services, across eight counties in England and throughout Wales. Alabaré’s Homes for Veterans provide supported accommodation to British Armed Forces Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We believe no Veteran should be forced to sleep on the streets.  On any given night our Homes for Veterans are able to keep over 100 Veterans off the streets, and work with them to gain the skills, confidence and opportunities to live fulfilling lives after their time in the military has concluded.

Support from the Badminton Ride will be going specifically to support the Alabaré’s Gloucestershire Homes for Veterans.

The Badminton Ride 2021

Every year the Badminton Estate home of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort hosts The Badminton Ride which sees around 900 riders live the dream and “ Ride round Badminton” many probably imagining what it feels like to compete at the World-Famous Horse Trials.

From the proceeds of The Ride, substantial donations are made to charity and following last year’s successful event in September 2021 it was the turn of Dorothy House Hospice Care to benefit.  On 17th February in the beautiful North Hall of Badminton House, the Duke and Duchess welcomed representatives from Dorothy House and presented a cheque for £7,000 to Kate Tompkins, Chair of the Board of Trustees who said “We believe every life is incredibly precious, and no one should face death alone. This wonderful donation means that patients and families, during the most difficult of times, can continue to receive the exceptional personalised care each person deserves”

What a great day it was for The Badminton Ride 2021.Some lovely comments received from those who took part.

Thank you for a lovely ride. Nice stewards and entries secretaries x

Was so much fun thank you very well organized too

Thank you so much for a wonderful day. It was our first time at Badminton and both our ponies are young and quite inexperienced. The professionally built jumps meant that they gained confidence as they went round. It was great to chat to lots of other riders and the marshals were helpful and kept everyone safe. See you next year.

Our first time this year, we said to ourselves a treat as it is over a 2 hour journey for us, THE BEST DAY EVER. We have already got it in our calendars to book for next years ride. Brilliant - after having a bad fall from our previous XC ride 7 months ago it was the best venue and atmosphere to get back over some solid fences again and the horses LOVED it! thank you to all who organised!
