Groups celebrate amazing results at the Virtual RDA National Championships 2024

Two Groups from the North West Region are celebrating after huge success at the Virtual RDA National Championships 2024, which were held from 15 to 17 November 2024.  The Championships includes many of the disciplines we see in RDA and are a great way for participants to take part in a competition as there is no travel involved and they can film their entry in their familiar riding environment.  During the Virtual Championships, the top three entries are shown and their placings are revealed.

RDA Isle of Man had 12 riders competing and 9 riders competed for Mid Cheshire RDA.  Many congratulations to everyone who took part and the volunteers and coaches from both Groups, who put an enormous amount of effort into organising the entries. 

The results were outstanding with Mid Cheshire RDA riders achieving a first place and a third place. RDA Isle of Man riders celebrated 4 first places; 6 second places and 5 third places, with their fantastic horse Kizzy being named Horse of the Championship!
