Riding for the Disabled Association of Western Australia (RDAWA) is a voluntary, not for profit organisation whose primary aim is to develop the abilities and enrich the lives of people living with disabilities through the provision of therapeutic and recreational horse activities. 

Our existing programs operate out of 17 centres from Geraldton in the North to Albany in the South, offering opportunities for over 700 participants to enjoy safe, stimulating, healthy therapeutic activities such as horse riding, vaulting, hippotherapy, carriage driving and dressage. Our programs and participants are supported by over 400 volunteers and nationally accredited coaches ensuring that everyone receives personal guidance and instruction during their weekly sessions.

RDAWA is part of a worldwide movement and is affiliated with Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia Ltd (RDAA).

Sophie's Story

When Sophie first came to RDA, she was 3 years old, could not walk without a zimmer frame and had difficulty holding herself up.

Sophie is now 8, has attended her riding centre, RDA Carine weekly for 5 years, only missing 4 sessions due to doctors' appointments. Sophie can now walk unaided.
