Te Aroha Riding for the Disabled (RDA)

Thanks to the support of the wider community, Te Aroha RDA continues to serve 50-70 riders annually with a wide range of physical, emotional and intellectual disabilities. We have a dedicated team of 25 volunteers and five horses with a further two in training. Year after year we strive to be the best we can be, to deliver quality safe programmes to our riders and are proud to be one of the most compliant RDA’s in the country.

RDA is all about providing goal-based riding activities that increase the ability, strength and confidence of people with physical, intellectual, emotional and social challenges.

Our focus is to make a positive difference. Our vision is to reach more riders and change more lives.

We are a not for profit organisation, that is not government supported and as we have an annual budget of $150,000.00 we rely heavily on the generosity of our sponsors and the public.

Your kind donations help develop quality based rider programmes, continued coach, volunteer and health and safety training, and horse welfare.
