Riding for the Disabled Association
![Riding for the disabled association](/images/rda.jpg)
Therapeutic Riding is often undertaken through the Riding for the Disabled Association. They continue to utilise the horse’s movement as in hippotherapy but combine this with a more active horse riding component. Lessons are normally with two or more people and have a focus on both fun and achievement.
Whereas in hippotherapy a simple pad is used over the horse, therapeutic riding progresses on to the use of a saddle and stirrups to progress the riding skills within the individual.
RDA activities as well as riding also include:
Carriage driving
Vaulting
