PRESS RELEASE
RIDING TEAM RETURN AS CHAMPIONS
Eleven riders from the Riding for the Disabled Association’s Unicorn Centre at Hemlington, near Middlesbrough competed at the RDA National Championships last month at Hartpury, Gloucestershire, returning with a string of accolades, medals and rosettes.
2015 is the eleventh consecutive year the Unicorn Centre has been qualifying riders to this prestigious event which is the biggest of its kind in the world for disabled riders and drivers. In 2000 just one rider represented the Centre but in following years up to fifteen have qualified. Many won medals and rosettes as well as a huge amount of respect from their peers and everyone who knew or worked with them.
Our next Companion Dog Show takes place on Sunday 27 September here at the Unicorn Centre.
