Developing Ability and

Enriching Lives

What is RDA?

Riding for Disabled (RDA) is a worldwide movement represented internationally by the Federation of Horses in Education and Therapy International (HETI) and Nationally by Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia Ltd (RDAA).


RDA is a charitable, not for profit organisation supported by a large pool of volunteers enabling us to keep our programs as affordable as possible.


RDA enables people with disabilities to experience enjoyment, develop abilities, attain personal goals and develop life skills and enriches their lives through sporting, therapeutic, educational and recreational equestrian activities.


Our Centre (RDAASW) here in the South West of Western Australia, provides 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 and dressage.

RDA cannot operate without our amazing Volunteers!

You may be surprised that our volunteers aren't required to have any horse experience.  We provide training to all our volunteers.
