Welcome to North Shore RDA!

North Shore Group Riding for the Disabled Inc. (Charities Commission No.CC38923) affiliated to New Zealand Riding for the Disabled Inc.

Based in Aubrey Road, Stillwater, North Shore RDA's goal is to "provide therapeutic horse riding for people with disabilities to improve their physical, intellectual and emotional well-being."

Riding for the Disabled was established in New Zealand in 1972, as horse riding is an enjoyable form of healthy outdoor exercise, and the 3-dimensional movement of a horse (side-to-side, up & down and forward & back) corresponds to the physiology of the human walk.

The proven benefits of riding include:

• Improvement in physical fitness, co-ordination and mobility
• Increased self-esteem and self-confidence
• Improvement in learning skills, speech, colour recognition and numeracy

Children and adults with physical or intellectual disabilities or psychological conditions all benefit from therapeutic riding programmes and associated activities.
