2023

2023 brings SARDA Durban to a new venue that we hope becomes like the home we had at Ridgetop Equestrian, a home where SARDA Durban grew and was nurtured by all who are involved.
We are grateful beyond measure for the many years, memories and emotions that we keep pinned in our hearts, thank you to all at Ridgetop Equestrian and to all who have been involved in so many ways in growing SARDA Durban to the organization it now is, and that we continue to build on.
Our new venue is the beautiful Eden View, owned by Ed and Cary Frenzel, who have opened their hearts and venue to SARDA Durban and made us feel more than welcome. Natasha Parker Equestrian has kindly provided her more than capable horses to run the SARDA Durban  horse riding program.
Last week we started the riding program and had a successful week with three of the schools. We are truly grateful to everyone who has made this happen and as always we cannot run this program without our amazing volunteers who donate their time and hearts.
