71% of children feel more relaxed and settled thanks to RDA. 💚

That’s the power of our sessions, and it’s made possible by 13,700 incredible volunteers across the UK.

By giving a little of your time, you can help enrich lives through horses.

From leading ponies and coaching sessions, to fundraising and Trustees working tirelessly behind the scenes, volunteering with RDA means more disabled people can enjoy the therapy and fun horses bring.

Plus, our award-winning training ensures volunteering is as rewarding for you as it is for our participants.
