​Victoria Cheshire - Wilton RDA Rider Ambassador
 

I’m Victoria, and I’ve proudly been the Ambassador for Wilton RDA since October 2022.

​

I started riding at Wilton RDA when I was about 2½ years old, back when the stables were in the grounds of Wilton House, before they moved to the Pembroke Centre. Riding has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s something I feel really passionate about. The Pembroke Centre is my “happy place”.

 

I always feel safe, supported, and encouraged, and over time I’ve grown in both skill and confidence. I also really enjoy supporting and encouraging other riders so they can enjoy their experience just as much as I do.

​

Here are some of the things I’m most proud of:

Riding Achievements

• Competing in a range of events since 2012, including Dressage Anywhere and the RDA

National Championships

• Winning many rosettes and several trophies along the way

• Being awarded Participant of the Year at the 2025 National Championships at Hartpury

Ambassador Role

• Representing Wilton RDA since October 2022

• Welcoming special visitors, including the Head of Fundraising in November 2024 and the outgoing CEO in February 2025, and showing them the amazing work at the Pembroke Centre

• Helping to raise awareness and funds for the RDA and the Centre

Fundraising & Community Involvement

• Taking part in the sponsored Windsor Great Walk (with my dog Cliff!)

• Supporting activities that bring the community together and highlight the work of Wilton RDA

Making a Difference

• Creating the Ambassador’s Award after noticing coaches weren’t recognised during a Nativity event

• Working with the Chair to introduce this annual Coach of the Year award, voted for by riders, staff, and volunteers

Being part of Wilton RDA means so much to me, and I’m really proud to give something back to a place that has given me so much.
