Due to the current lockdown, our riding therapy service is closed for now, in line with Scottish Government and RDA National guidelines, to keep all of our riders, families, volunteers and supporters safe.  Our usual winter fundraising events are cancelled.  

However, we’re looking forward to when we can open again, and in the meantime we’re planning some alternative fundraising events we hope you’ll enjoy! By supporting our events you are securing the future of Muirfield Riding Therapy.  We are fully self-funded, and volunteer-led, and our pioneering service is free, to ensure as many people can access it as possible. Thank you for your support.

Lots of surprises promised, plus everything you raise will be topped up by an amazing 50% thanks to the Kiltwalk’s funding partner, The Hunter Foundation! Registration isn’t open yet, but keep checking our social media. Interested?  Please get in touch.

 

Fun ‘Not Just For Dogs’ Show 2021

We’ve run our annual Fun Dog Show each spring, for six years now, but had to cancel last year’s event when the pandemic hit.  This year we’re back, but changing things a little bit, while everyone is still in lockdown, by presenting our virtual alternative.  It’s not our usual dog show, in fact it’s not just for dogs at all!  This year, we invite you to enter your pet – dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, snakes – whoever your pet is, there will be a Virtual Photo Class to suit!  Date and details to follow soon…. keep an eye on our social media! Interested? Please get in touch.
