Today is the Horse's Birthday for horses in the Southern Hemisphere and we celebrate and acknowledge their unique contribution to RDA. They are our most loyal and dedicated workers, performing daily without the need for accolade or praise - today, we say thank you. 516 Horses work on our team, delivering over 50,000 riding lessons each year across RDA Centres - 50,000 opportunities for people with a disability to connect, learn and develop. On the horses birthday, we ask you to consider giving a gift and donating to Riding for the Disabled Assoc. Australia Ltd... as a bonus, this week Tabcorp through Sky Racing will be matching those donations - double the donation for double the impact! Donate today, via:

Thank you Tabcorp 🙏🏻. Amazing support and promotion of the work that we do!

Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia (RDAA) is celebrating 60 years of RDA services in Australia! In 1964, Peter and June McIntyre established the first classes for riders with disabilities in Kenmore, Qld. From these origins, RDA spread across Australia with formal Associations formed in subsequent years, to create the network of service that we now know as RDA in Australia. RDA has been and continues to be a much loved and incredibly valuable service to communities right across Australia. We'll be sharing and celebrating stories from those communities in the coming days and months as we look back and reflect with pride. If you want to support us today, you can do so by: Donating: https://lnkd.in/gtVfBqaF Volunteering: https://lnkd.in/gifg9XBg

Another segment from our recent feature on C7 Sunrise. Hear from one of our 300 coaches, Rhiannon as she discusses the role of the horse in our program - as a therapeutic aid, essential member of staff and huge motivator for our participants to stay involved. 'Our biggest contributors with the smallest voice' Hear also from Esther and her mum, Alison on the impact RDA makes in her life. Fun, enjoyment, making friends and making meaningful connections with people and the horses that she rides. We have over 500 horses in RDA, who collectively deliver over 50,000 riding lessons each year - 50,000 opportunities for people like Esther to enjoy, learn, develop and connect. If you or your business would like to help us to deliver our programs right across Australia through, gifts, donations, volunteering or specialist partner support - contact our Executive Officer, Justin Dent via [email protected] to start the conversation today.

Incredibly grateful for the support of C7 Sunrise, coming on site to our Samford Riding for the Disabled Centre in Brisbane to help showcase just some of the amazing work we do at Riding for the Disabled Assoc. Australia Ltd. The first clip we're sharing features the wonderful Charlotte, a young volunteer who has given three years' service to RDA, and now balances it with her University Studies. At RDA we take on volunteers from the age of 12, there are almost 4,000 volunteers supporting our 72 Centres and they collectively give over 400,000 hours of service each year! Volunteering at RDA is a way for young people to learn, develop and grow, whilst giving tremendous value back to their community - enormous and long-lasting life lessons. We're looking for community and corporate support to continue our work and support our volunteer recruitment and training, if you can donate to this cause, visit https://lnkd.in/gtVfBqaF or if you think your business is a good fit, or you'd like to start a conversation on how you could partner with us, contact our Executive Officer, Justin Dent via [email protected] to start that conversation today. This clip also features the amazing Caleb, who started with us 10 years ago as a shy boy. He's grown confidence, skills and capacity at RDA. RDA is a big part of his life now and we're proud that he's part of our family. Riding horses to him feels 'magical' and 'like riding a cloud'. Check it out and be inspired.

Mark your calendars! 📆 We're super excited to share that Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia (RDAA) will be on Channel 7, featuring right across the morning on Sunrise!
