St Johnstone launch new third kit with proceeds going to Kinfauns Stables R.D.A

St Johnstone have launched a new charity third kit with all profits going towards Kinfauns Stables R.D.A, who help to teach people with varying disabilities how to ride horses.

The slick black, teal and magenta kit is available for pre-order now and will be delivered to supporters at the end of November.

Saints' honorary president Geoff  Brown OBE set up the charity in 2015 to create a riding for the disabled facility. The self-funded charity is dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities through the provision of horse riding and horse care.

Kinfauns Stables R.D.A provide opportunities for therapy, achievement, enjoyment, improving health, well-being and self-confidence as well as benefiting mobility and co-ordination.  

Speaking of his delight at the partnership, Brown explained: "This is a very special partnership for me to be involved in.

"To have this partnership between my club and Kinfauns Stables R.D.A, both of which mean so much to me, is an occasion I won't forget.

“I have always kept the two separate, but this was a special occasion that would help raise money and better the lives of disabled people in the Perthshire area. The more money we raise, the more people we can help.

"Kinfauns Stables R.D.A helps provide incredible experiences for people with varying disabilities through the use of horse riding. 

"I am extremely proud of this partnership and I hope everyone likes the new kit."

Stan Harris, St Johnstone CEO, added: “I am very proud that we have been able to launch a charity 3rd kit this season with all profits going toward Kinfauns Stables R.D.A.

"Kinfauns Stables R.D.A is a charity set up by our honorary president Geoff Brown OBE and one that he holds extremely close to his heart.

"We decided to go with an all-black kit, whilst incorporating the popular teal and magenta colour scheme into the design after it resulted in the best-selling away kit the club has ever produced last year.

"We feel this has created a striking design that fans will love, resulting in a great product that will also help raise money for a fantastic local charity with strong ties to St Johnstone.

"Having worked closely with Geoff on the design and partnership, he was delighted with the final product and is proud to have his charity at the forefront of this endeavour."
