Riders

RDA Peninsula provides equestrian activities for people with a wide variety of disabilities (intellectual and physical).

Every new rider must have their medical consent form signed by their medical practitioner. This is to ensure that it is safe for the individual to participate in the programs.

Programs are developed and supervised by trained coaches using trained horses and trained volunteers.
