Dunedin Riding for the Disabled

Dunedin Riding for the Disabled The Riding for the Disabled Association Inc was established in New Zealand in 1972, and Dunedin Group RDA was established in 1973.

Dunedin RDA provides interaction with horses to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for people experiencing disability, or who have specific challenges or needs, enabling them to have meaningful participation in, and contribution to, their community. The location of Dunedin RDA has changed over the years but we now have our own land in Fairfield, Dunedin. Dunedin RDA is a not for profit organisation which is run and managed by volunteers and a few staff. We receive no government funding and rely on grants, corporate sponsorship and generous donations from the community to keep the RDA operating for our over 50 riders. Please any questions email

Our resource shed is now relocated on the purpose-built concrete slab close to our administration area.

It is now much more accessible to our staff and volunteers.

We simply could not have shifted it there ourselves, so once again we are indebted to a local business for coming to our rescue.

Locals support DRDA, please support our locals.

Thank you so much!!

Your generosity has placed a fresh container on site at DRDA for us to use as a feed shed. It is secure, it is vermin proof and it frees up a stable for us.

As a Charity we cannot survive without people who are prepared to support us and the work we do in the community.

Our riders benefit from having supporters who can recognise the benefits of horse related therapy and are prepared to contribute to the infrastructure required to provide that service.

The DRDA committee, the staff and the volunteers also benefit from having their jobs made just that little bit easier due to the sponsorship we get from people with a social conscience.

As the recipients of this kindness, we at DRDA encourage you, our followers, to support those who support us.

Paul at Affordable Roofing. Wow!

Our Tack room is waterproof again, and our expensive tack is now safe from water damage when it rains. Not only that our volunteers can find the correct tack for each horse much more easily as it is now it is lighter in there too!

Paul's support of DRDA was crucial. If you have a roofing job coming up, give him a call!

Thank you Paul. Very much!
