© 2010 Somerset Levels RDA
Four RDA qualified ponies are used at our weekly carriage driving sessions.
Two of those ponies are owned by the Group, and our other qualified ponies are provided by our Group’s volunteers.
It takes very special qualities for a pony to receive RDA accreditation— they must be strong yet gentle and, above all, obedient.
Pictured right, is Troy: he pulls our special wheel-
Pictured above is Beryl, our adorable New Forest Pony:
Pictured below is Millie, our gentle mare.
Pictured right is Whizzy— our willing Dartmoor!
He’s won his spurs in all sorts of events, and has now become an assessed RDA pony.
He came off the Moor for for less than £100!
Meet the ponies that make it all possible!
These four ponies are amazing: they are immensely strong, and have all the instincts of a wild animal. But they all know their job on a Thursday, and respond superbly to the needs of their disabled clients.
