The Team

Arundel Group RDA is only able to operate because of the many people that work together as a team.

The team includes volunteer helpers, the riders, parents, teachers, carers, trustees - and of course the horses and ponies.
   

Trustees

The Trustees perform an important role as they form the Committee which makes decisions affecting the running of the Group.Trustee roles include Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary.
​
Also on the Committee are the Group Organiser, the Volunteer Co-ordinator, the Rider ​Co-ordinator and two Assistant Coaches.

Ponies

At our 2019 Annual Dinner Chairman, Terry Clothier, presented a pastel of much-loved Conker to Alison Leggett, Proprietor of Arundel Riding Centre.  Sadly we lost Conker during 2018 and we felt that this was a fitting legacy to an amazing pony who gave 24 years’ loyal service to Arundel Group RDA.  ​
