Cambs College Riding for the Disabled group is extremely grateful to The Provincial Grand Lodge of Cambridgeshire, Charity for Care and Relief for their support and generous donation. This Masonic fund donated £1750 to cover the costs of a saddle and bridle, rugs and other equipment for our new horse, Gypsy.
Horses are expensive to purchase, but there are always a lot of on-costs such as pre-purchase vetting and transport, as well as equipping the horse properly, and it is these additional costs that the donation will cover.
Gypsy started work for us in September 2025, and is becoming a valuable member of the team. But we have had to squeeze her into second-hand rugs that are not quite big enough and she has been wearing a borrowed saddle. This grant allows us to buy a saddle especially for her, as well as the other equipment she needs.
We would like to thank all our friends in Masonic Lodges in Cambridgeshire who have supported us over the last few years, and a particular thank you to the Charity for Care and Relief. Your generosity makes it possible for us to continue to offer weekly riding lessons to our small group of riders.
