Garioch Carriage Driving for Disabled Group
2 June 2026 - Tommy passes his RDA Assessment!
Tuesday 2 June may have been gloomy with heavy rain but Tommy did a great job and PASSED his RDA assessment!
​
Everyone is very proud of him and all the volunteers for preparing him for his big day. He is definitely a lovely boy who will be with the group for years to come.
​
This means that Tommy will be able to take out our lovely participants who have been waiting patiently.
​
Thank you to everyone for their support!
What's happened in 2025
We have all been enjoying the mild weather during the driving season this year. Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers and participants for their continued support.
This year started with an incredibly sad farewell to Prince, who has been with us for so many years doing an amazing job looking after all our participants. I'm sure that everyone has fond memories of him and he will be missed.
This year Indi has been having tendon issues but luckily Team Strathorn have managed to step in and assist. Clydesdale, Collessie King Edward kindly driven by Ruth Skinner has been keeping everyone happy with some leisure drives in the covered wagon.
Thankfully in Spring, with the support of some amazing organisations, we managed to secure a new pony called Tommy to take over the reins from Prince. Since arriving he has been in training and has adapted very well to his new home.
With the gap now left by Indi, the Team here at Garioch are trying to secure a second pony.
​
We are now on winter break but will keep everyone up to date with any plans for winter get togethers!
