Teddy the Shetland is a Star Attraction at South of England Horse Trials for RDA Fundraising

Teddy the Shetland proved a star attraction at the South of England horse trials in the autumn when he became the RDA mascot for the weekend, on loan from eventer Alice Goring.  He joined a team of RDA volunteers were able to raise some much-needed funds for the region when the organisers selected us as the chosen charity for the event – much to the delight of RDA Regional Vice Presidents, Tina Cook and Pippa Funnell who were both competing.

Some young local fundraisers, sisters Eleanor and Francesca Mumford from Nutley, East Sussex, were thrilled to meet Teddy who was admired by everyone who met him as he’s already somewhat of a celebrity with a 42,000 following on Instagram (@teddytheshetland). He certainly helped attract attention and raffle ticket sales.
