RDA is so much more than horse riding. NDIS funding cuts have been really felt by RDA clients, and I feel there is a massive lack of understanding of what RDA programs are all about….. not only does being aboard a horse offer incredible physical benefits (building strength, endurance, coordination, pain relief, mobility) but there are incredible positive sensory and psychosocial impacts too. Whether riding or participating in groundwork providing horse care , relationships with horses and humans can be built, nervous systems calmed, communication strategies and confidence strengthened….. and so much more. Please support your local RDA Samford Riding for the Disabled to continue these amazing programs.
We have an amazing community around us. But the word needs to travel further.
