Totara Park Riding for the Disabled
Help us sponsor our pony Saint so we can keep providing our therapy at a low cost to our local riders.
We are one of the 54 Riding for the Disabled Groups in New Zealand, 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. It costs at least $8000 each year to look after the health and welfare of one RDA horse.
As our riders only pay a very small fee per ride, we are left with a significant short fall every week.
