Totara Park Riding for the Disabled

Totara Park Riding for the Disabled

Your donation will help provide life changing opportunities for disabled riders through therapy based horse riding activities.

Auckland

We are affiliated to NZ Riding for the Disabled and are based at Totara Park, Manukau.

We provide interaction with horses to develop increased ability, independence and self worth for children and adults with physical, intellectual, emotional and social challenges.

Our greatest expense is our horses - our main assets! Without them there would be no riding therapy for people with disabilities in our community. The horses must be fit , healthy and happy all the time. We are a non profit organisation receiving no government funding and rely entirely on the generosity of the public for support. Our rider fees are kept minimal and do not cover our running costs so many volunteer hours are spent fundraising and sourcing corporate funding.

More about us

Totara Park Riding for the Disabled Association [TPRDA] formerly Whitford RDA was established in 1977 & is affiliated to NZ Riding for the Disabled. At RDA we provide interaction with horses to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for people experiencing disability, or who have specific challenges or needs.

We aim to enable and support them to achieve good lives including meaningful participation in, and contribution to, important life activities and roles in their community.

Our Vision is to Reach More Riders, Change More Lives

We deliver safe and effective goal based programmes to benefit riders with a variety of needs in line with our Core Purpose.
