The RDA

• Print

The RDA (Riding for the disabled) involves two things very close to my heart, helping people and horses. So I was delighted when my company suggested that all members of staff could take a paid day per year off to help in the community.  I knew that my choice would be to help the RDA when they come to a local riding yard and become a leader for the day with some very special horses namely Erin, Jimmy Blue and Larry.

This amazing charity gives the opportunity, to young people and adults who have various learning and/or physical disabilities, to have a fun day out with animals who seem to understand the needs of their precious riders.

Felicity and her band of volunteers organise her local group every fortnight and are always looking for extra eager hands to come along and either lead a horse or walk along side the horse and rider, she can be contacted via the RDA website www.rda.org.uk or on 08454507039.  Go on make a difference, I did!

Here are some photos of the day.
