I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate RDA on its 30th anniversary.”

We rely solely on donations and fundraising events such as this to support our unique form of therapeutic riding programmes for people with disability. This is the sixth Race Day that we are partnering the Singapore Turf Club in this effort and we hope that we will be able to continue this event annually as one of our main fundraisers. It is RDA 30th anniversary this year and special thanks must also go to our sponsors for the support over the years.”
