Impact

RDA is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to the therapeutic benefits of equestrian activities. Recommended by physiotherapists and occupational therapists, we provide essential physical exercise and support for many participants referred by medical professionals. Our programs enhance core strength, balance, and coordination while fostering confidence, social connections, and overall well-being.
