What are the benefits of riding?

Here are some testimonials from our riders’ whānau and from a coach.

“My grandson can’t walk to school or play football, but he can ride a horse”. – From a rider’s whānau

“Our child was referred to RDA by child disability services. The purpose of attending RDA was to help improve weakness to arm and leg from a stroke at birth. This is an amazing service and we have seen great improvement in our child’s movements, co-ordination and speech improvement.” – From a rider’s whānau

“Riding helps with expression and developing language.” – From a coach
