Ride with RDA
If you or your child would like to see how Riding for the Disabled could help we would love to hear from you.
Children can join us through their school (if they are currently accessing RDA) or individually if this is available, There is high demand for places and we currently have a waiting list. All sessions are within school hours, term time.
We welcome clients with both physical and learning disabilities and there are no age restrictions. There is currently a 10 stone weight restriction for riders due to the ponies RDA uses. We are fully insured and provide the necessary hats, and clothing if applicable.
Please contact us in the first instance for further information, email to: rda.jersey@gmail.com
