Enriching lives through horses – It is what you can do that counts

Riding for the Disabled Association Isle of Man is an independent charity that is a Member Group of Riding for the Disabled Association UK.

RDA is an inclusive and diverse organisation. We welcome participants with physical and learning disabilities. There are no age restrictions, so we can bring therapy, achievement and fun to as many people as we can on the Island. 

We offer sessions during the day on a Tuesday and and during the evening on a Friday at the Guilcagh Stables. In addition, we have been able to take groups of riders to Clwyd Special Riding Centre, we compete in virtual, regional and national competitions.

We are a charity, and we can only carry out life-changing activities thanks to the generosity of donors, the dedication of our volunteers and the good nature of our fantastic horses. 

There are many benefits to riding, which include: 

• Improving strength, conditioning and balance
• Improving self-esteem
• Improving communication skills
• Developing new skills
• Developing physical activity
