Volunteering Day at Gaddesden Place RDA Stables

A team of volunteers from St Mary’s spent a scorching day at Gaddesden Place Riding for the Disabled stables on Thursday, as a ‘Volunteering Day’ in support of our Charity of the Year.

Tasks including cleaning and disinfecting stables, repainting a shed, scrubbing, clearing, quite literally ‘scraping a barrel’ which prepares new riders for sitting on a saddle, and painting horseshoes used in sensory sessions.

A Gaddesden RDA Trustee wrote “What an amazing team of volunteers – it was a great demonstration of teamwork and I’m staggered that everything on the list was ticked off.  Gaddesden RDA really appreciate all the work that was done today and feel very fortunate to have your ongoing support”.
