@princessellieee We'd love it if you could volunteer. We've got lots of Groups all over the UK. If you're not sure where your nearest one is, go to our website and look at the RDA Near You page. Thanks!

For six years now I've volunteered at my local RDA and have recently begun my Orientation To Coaching Certificate. Over this time I have seen many young disabled riders transform the instant they get in the saddle. RDA has changed my life for the better, and I believe that not only do the riders benefit, but in many ways the volunteers benefit, too. Such is the magic of horses. :)

I am 14 and Volunteer at RDA, I drive 20 min every sat to get there and I work from 8.30 - 3.30. It's hard work, but when you see the smiles on the kids faces it makes it all worth it -3

I am a Lloyds TSB Local Hero - I started riding at Penniwells RDA with 2 side helpers & a leader.I am now Grade 1a RDA National Champion and also compete in Para Dressage. I won at the KBIS Final for Grade1a 2010 and also competed in Belgium as a Junior Para Rider. A great film showing everything that RDA is about - without RDA I would never be achieving all that I am doing now - Thank you.
