Riding for the Disabled

rda-(1).jpg

New Zealand Riding for the Disabled Association (NZRDA) provides confidence, independence and well-being for people with disabilities through therapeutic horse riding and horse care.

NZRDA has at its core the provision of education, therapeutic riding and sport and recreation. NZRDA is part of a global voluntary organisation.

Riding develops, improves and promotes:

  • Balance and coordination, posture and muscle tone
  • Concentration, self discipline and self-esteem
  • Perception and spatial awareness
  • Communication and social skills
  • Independence and encourages decision making

New Zealand Riding for the Disabled and Special Olympics New Zealand have a long, mature and mutually supportive relationship. In late 2010, this relationship will become official through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.
