Ravelrig RDA

Volunteers Week has finished but we have more to share about our wonderful volunteers. Did you know that all our coaches and trainee coaches at Ravelrig RDA are volunteers who require regular formal assessments and reviews as well as CPD? Congratulations to all our coaches who have passed a review this year and to our hard working trainees who are progressing well.

Becoming a Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) coach means taking on a role that blends coaching, safeguarding, equine knowledge, disability awareness, and person‑centred support. At its heart, it’s about enabling disabled children and adults to experience the joy, freedom and therapeutic benefits of horses — safely, confidently, and with dignity.
