OUR COMMITTEE
President
Angela Roads
Angela is our current President. She found her way to our centre via her oldest of 2 daughters, Tulleah, who first started volunteering (and eventually riding) and then she roped Mum in as well as her sister Alyssa!
Angela's 'spare time' is spent doing a lot of committee stuff, working 2 jobs and helping out at the centre when we are short on volunteers.
Angela was never a real "horsey" loving person, more so admired them from afar....until our horses showed her just how amazing they can be!

Committee Member
Carol Ballardin
Carol has always had a passion for horses, but her knowledge about them was limited. Nevertheless, she mustered the courage to start volunteering at RDA Brigadoon March 2021, and from the very start, she was captivated by the experience. The supportive atmosphere and helpful people at Brigadoon made a lasting impression on her.
She loves spending time with the clients, witnessing their growing confidence around the horses, and enjoying their joyful conversations.
In addition to her time with the clients, Carol assists with various tasks around the Centre, including cleaning the kitchen and restrooms, always staying busy!
Her friends often brace themselves for her enthusiastic stories about RDA Brigadoon and its. Carol truly believes that volunteering there has been one of the best choices she has ever made.
Vice President
Kate Tolson
Kate started volunteering at RDA Brigadoon in 2020 because she loved horses but had never had the opportunity to be around them.
In 2021 Kate and her husband Dave bought a property in Chidlow and Kate got her first horse. Now they have 4 horses and a menagerie of other rescue animals which includes chickens, dogs and rabbits.
​
Kate loves the inclusive and fun community at RDA Brigadoon and volunteers 3 days a week. Dave helps out too whenever he can. She loves getting to know the clients and seeing their happiness when they ride and when they recognise her!
​
Kate learns something new every day from the amazing coaches and other volunteers and she has even learnt to ride through the volunteer reward lessons.
