Our volunteers are part of a dynamic team working together to deliver the best possible service to as many clients as possible.

Volunteers share their time and talents to support RDAASW, and in return RDAASW provides its volunteer team with a wide range of interesting opportunities and experiences.

You could be supporting a client during a riding session as a horse leader or side walker, or caring for our horses after the ride.

RDAASW need volunteers help with ground maintenance and to take on administration duties in the office. We need talented fundraisers and board members to ensure we continue to practice good governance.

RDAASW also needs the help of people with skills specific to horses: farriers, vets, horse husbandry, carers during the holidays.

WHAT IS RDA? RDA enables people with disabilities to experience enjoyment, challenge and a sense of achievement through participation in equestrian activities to improve their quality of life, attain personal goals and develop life skills.

RDA develops the abilities of and enriches the lives of people with disabilities through sporting, therapeutic, educational and recreational equestrian activities.

RDA Centres provide suitable horses, trained volunteer helpers, accredited RDA coaches, riding and safety equipment to run a range of equestrian activities including structured riding classes, recreational horse riding, hippotherapy, mounted games/competitive riding, vaulting, carriage driving and dressage.
