Proudly Supporting the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals
The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals supports retired horses and dogs from the police; fire & rescue; prison; border force; and National Crime Agency services with medical and veterinary costs. When an animal retires, funding stops, and insurance is impossible to obtain due to age, making vets fees a real challenge. The charity motto is ‘Protecting our Protectors’ and the NFRSA is there when an animal falls ill, not only offering financial assistance, but emotional support as well. www.nfrsa.org.uk/ Charity No: 1200949
Please note - no onsite farrier for 2024 Ride
The historic Stable Yard at Badminton House was the backcloth for a cheque presentation to The Avon Centre. A successful 2023 Badminton Ride enabled a donation of £3,500 to be made to this deserving cause.
Claire Evans from the Avon Centre said.“We are most grateful for the support of The Badminton Ride and this generous donation will allow us to continue to help disabled and disadvantaged people to access the therapeutic benefits of horses and nature. It was fascinating to be shown around the stables and tack room and a delight to meet the friendly and knowledgeable team. Del Boy ( horse) was particularly charming!”
