Become a volunteer…
Volunteers are the heart of RDA — from coaches and side-walkers to cake bakers and administrators. Whatever skills you bring, your time helps more disabled people experience the therapeutic benefits, increased confidence and simple joy that horses provide. Volunteering is rewarding and includes award-winning training, ongoing support and the chance to make lasting friendships. We welcome anyone aged 16 and over (no upper age limit), and you don’t need to have any horse experience. We need side-walkers to assist the children, people to help riders with helmets and mounting, assisting coaches during sessions, and supporting basic administration or fundraising activities. Give an hour a week, a morning, or once a month — any time you can spare makes a real difference. Contact us by clicking on the “Contact Us” link at the top of the page, filling in the form, and become part of the warm, supportive RDA family.
