We were honoured to welcome Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal to Crosby RDA as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations. 👑

The Princess Royal met our amazing riders—past and present—along with our dedicated volunteers at local, regional and national level, and of course, our wonderful horses. 🐴 She kindly presented long service awards, unveiled a special plaque to mark our golden milestone, and even cut our celebration cake. 🎂

It was a truly memorable day, and we’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it possible. A huge amount of work went on behind the scenes and around the clock, so special thanks to all those who made it happen.
Thank you to Jim at JPC Printing for the invitations, Sarah at Litherland Party Hire for the tables, Tom at Canonbury Signs for the plaque, Kathryn Rankin for the cake, and Debbie Davies for the flowers. Staff from the Co-op Bank, supported by our fantastic volunteers, did a brilliant job preparing the site including painting the Pavilion. Heather Ward made sure our horses looked their best, and our brilliant team of volunteers served refreshments throughout the day. 💐☕️

Here’s to 50 years of making a difference and many more to come
