The Scottish Masonic Charitable Foundation of Western Australia was approached by the centre to help purchase a new pony which would enable them to continue their good work within the community. The Foundation was more than happy to assist and RDA Brigadoon now has a new member of the herd 'Ballykissangle' (Bally).

Bally has proven to be a great asset to the centre and is already helping to develop the abilities and Enrich the lives of riders. 

Members of the Scottish Masonic Charitable Foundation were invited out to RDA Brigadoon in October to meet Bally and see first hand how he is helping to enrich the lives of those living with disabilities and special needs within our community. One of our members Bro. Peter McClean who was has been diagnosed with a brain tumour and is in a wheelchair was also able to spend some time with Bally.

Since our visit to RDA Brigadoon Peter and his wife Maxine have requested that the funds raised in honor of Peter by his fellow brethren at Lodge Kilwinning and the Scottish Masonic Charitable Foundation of WA be donated to RDA Brigadoon to allow them to build a more accessible path from their club house to the foot on the mounting ramp for those in wheel-chairs.
