The Badminton Ride 2022

Veterans’ charity Alabaré benefits from the Badminton Ride
‍‍
National veterans’ charity Alabaré was delighted to be invited to take part in the Badminton Ride at in September last year and raise funds for its work with homeless and vulnerable veterans in Gloucestershire.

Riders from across the country travelled to the venue, known for its annual Badminton Horse Trials and home of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort.

The event raised £4,500 for the charity and it will specifically support Alabaré’s two Homes for Veterans in Gloucestershire offering eleven bed spaces to those who have previously served in the British Armed Forces and now find themselves homeless or at risk of homelessness.  The charity runs dedicated Homes for Veterans in Gloucestershire and seven county’s including Wales.

Andrew Lord, Chief Executive at Alabaré, says:

“We are delighted that our participation in the Badminton Ride is communicating to the Gloucestershire community that we are taking the issue of veteran homelessness seriously and enabling us to maintain our commitment to ensure support is available for those who have served our country in their hour of need. “At Alabaré, we have been supporting veterans through our bespoke Homes for Veterans programme in Gloucestershire for over 9 years.  Every day we see the difference that having support from people who understand the difficulties faced by veterans makes to our ex-Armed Forces residents.  Financially, these are very challenging times, but we believe with the right funding no veteran has to face the trauma of being homeless but can have the support they need. supporting us in this way.  This money forms part of a bigger initiative to secure the funding to help us buy more dedicated veteran homes in the areas in which we work.”

I travel up from E Sussex for the weekend every year for this gem of a ride. Thanks so much to all involved and see you next year
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!
