HAWORTH Riding for the Disabled (RDA) members have shone in national championships.

They scooped an array of accolades, including four top spots and a quartet of runner-up places, in the contest.

And they were third overall in the Musical Ride/Carriage Drive DVD Competition.

The championships – the national RDA's flagship event – are held during three days at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire.

Hundreds of competitors take part.

Haworth members Rose Green, Kieran Johns, Euan Reed Griffiths and T-jay Wilson won through from regional qualifiers in May. T-jay couldn't take part in the finals due to injury.

Haworth RDA founder, Jackie Butterfield, said she was proud of all those involved – including the horses.

She added: "Our new horsebox made the journey really easy for the horses.

"Our after-school club made bunting and flags for the stables.

"I am so proud to be part of this great group of excellent staff and superb volunteers, who make it all possible for our children and adults to follow their passion."
