RDA Guernsey

RDA Guernsey The Guernsey Group of Riding for the Disabled is a local charity which relies solely on fund raising and donations to cover their costs.

How Riding Helps

Riding is a therapy that gives a world of benefits. Riding provides physiotherapy on the move. The warmth and movement of the horse is transmitted through the body, helping riders relax, become stronger and more supple, improving posture, balance and co-ordination. Riding helps self confidence, encourages speech and communication skills by interaction with the volunteers, but mos

t of all with the pony. It helps achieve targets, to make friends, but above all to have fun! Our Volunteers are very important as they lead the ponies or walk along side the rider to support and encourage. They help the rider to understand what is required and give a helping hand when needed. They are also there primarily for the safety of the rider. You do not need to be experienced with a horse
as side walkers are equally as important. We will explain what is required and train you to do the job!

๐ŸฃHappy Easter from all of us at RDA Guernsey! ๐Ÿฃ
Weโ€™ve had so much fun in our recent sessions, with our riders enjoying some Easter egg games in the saddle! ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฅš
Plenty of eggs to be found and a squeeze bunny that they all loved!
Plus it was great to capture William scoring so many egg goals! Everyone went home with an easter bag and rosette (gratefully donated from various people ๐Ÿ™)
A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers and supporters who make it all possible.๐Ÿ’›

Some say itโ€™s too early for tinselโ€ฆ
โ€ฆbut we say itโ€™s never too early when youโ€™ve got riders this cute! ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’ซ
Our little stars had the best time in their RDA lesson this week, full of squeals, sparkles, and a bit of festive magic. And to top it all off, at the end of her lesson one of our tiniest riders Poppy treated us to the sweetest rendition of ๐ŸŒŸTwinkle Twinkle Little Star.
This was the perfect way to wrap up our autumn term.
Weโ€™re now taking a well-earned break and will be back in the New Year for more smiles, confidence-building and pony love.
Thank you to all our riders, volunteers, and supporters for a wonderful term.
Wishing you all a sparkling, joyful Christmas! ๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ

What a lovely report. As volunteers we all see the difference in our riders young and old as they progress but itโ€™s nice...
