It is National Volunteer Week this week, a time to recognise and celebrate the people who give their time and skills to support their communities ✨

Wānaka RDA wouldn’t be possible without our incredible volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who offers their time and expertise for us 🫶 we appreciate every single one of you!

We’re sure many of our volunteers and riders will be missing RDA over the colder months, we can’t wait to be back in Term 4!

What an incredible weekend in Wellington at the
NZRDA 2026 Conference!

So good to connect with everyone and learn more about the other RDA groups around the country . The rider stories were inspiring, and we packed a lot in over the 2 days - governance, funding ideas, the changing face of volunteering, and getting the most out of social media.

The interactive workshop was a great way to work through some key topics too.

A huge thank you to the New Zealand Riding for the Disabled National Office team and all the brilliant speakers. Well done on putting together a brilliant conference.

Heading home to Wānaka feeling motivated and buzzing with fresh ideas ✨

We got together for a lovely lunch at Edgewater to celebrate and thank our amazing volunteers. Not everyone could make it, but we’re so grateful for each and every one of them.

With over 40 volunteers, we simply couldn’t run our RDA sessions without their support.

The joy RDA brings to our riders is something we all get to share in too, and I think that is the “why” for a lot if not all of our volunteers.

Thank you again to all of our volunteers. We’re looking forward to getting started again in October 🐴✨

We wrapped up our final day for Term 1 today – and we won’t be back again until October.

It wouldn’t be Easter without an Easter egg hunt, so our riders headed off on a little ride to track down those delicious treats!

Our lovely riders from MAC also made each volunteer a gift, which was so thoughtful and very much appreciated.

A big thank you to all of our incredible volunteers who dedicate their time to help us run these sessions for our riders. We simply couldn’t do it without you.

To Carol and her team at Waterfall Equestrian ,you work tirelessly behind the scenes to help make each day run smoothly, and we’re so grateful.

And of course, to all of our gorgeous RDA horses, your patience and gentle natures are appreciated by us all.

See you all again in October!
