Kaitaia Riding For the Disabled

$22 donated
Given by 3 generous donors in one year

The main aim of our organisation is to improve the physical and emotional well being of children in the Far North, with disabilities

Northland

Happy children who are learning through riding activities, to interact with adults, other riders and 'their horse', are children who will improve in their self esteem and confidence. Those with physical disabilities are often helped with their balance, hip movement, muscle control and hand-eye co-ordination. Many have behavioural problems and it is amazing how learning to respect and interact with their horse, listen to commands and having an experience

'outside the classroom' can bring improvement. All of this has immediate benefit at home and at school. In the long term the rider with improved skills has a far better prospect for interaction in the community as an adult. Feedback from caregivers/teacher aides/family tell us that riding programmes help the children to focus on their schoolwork and they are more settled both at home and at school.

Kaitaia Group of Riding for the Disabled Association Incorporated's involvement (page creator)

We are involved because we see a valued difference in the children that have participation in the Kaitaia Riding for the Disabled, We need more volunteers and and committee members to help and some of these volunteers come from a great distance. We also need help with the Care of the horses which can sometimes be costly as well as maintenance of the facilities.

About us

The objects for which the group is established which objects are charitable and to be exercised within the Kaitaia area of New Zealand are to provide horse riding opportunities to facilitate the training and rehabilitation of disabled persons in the Kaitaia District whose physical and mental health is likely to benefit from such participation.

Use of funds

The grant will be used to cover our basic operating costs of Power, telephone, Audit fees and insurance costs. We receive no Government funding and rely on organisations such as yourselves to continue our operation.

This grant enables us to maintain volunteer numbers and allows people to attend from long distances. It is to the volunteers advantage that they can attend each week in order to view their riders progress. As each rider requires one side walker and one volunteer to lead the horses we require two volunteers for each rider. Without the help of your grant many people could not afford to attend.
