Riding for the Disabled (RDA) centres in the UK
Find Riding for the Disabled (RDA) centres across the UK. Saddl lists verified RDA-affiliated venues offering ridden, driving and ground-based sessions for disabled riders.
According to Saddl's directory, there are 69 UK Riding for the Disabled (RDA) centres currently listed. RDA is a federation of around 500 independent groups across the UK, supported by 13,700 volunteers and 1,700 qualified coaches, serving over 26,500 disabled adults and children each year.
RDA is the UK's largest charity supporting disabled people through equine activity. Most RDA groups operate through host yards rather than owning their own facility - a riding school or livery yard provides the horses and arena, and the RDA group runs the sessions with its own volunteers and coaches. Activities range from ridden lessons to carriage driving, vaulting and ground-based equine-assisted learning. The RDA's national standards cover safeguarding, instructor training and horse selection. The list below is being built up against the official RDA register; if your local group is missing, ask your group leader to claim the listing.
