Blairgowrie Riding for the Disabled
Blairgowrie RDA is a member group of the Riding for the Disabled Association. Our purpose is to enable people with physical and learning disabilities to ride for the benefit of their health and wellbeing and to achieve their goals.
Horse riding
Our group offers riding sessions for special needs children from primary schools in the Blairgowrie community area, including Alyth, Coupar Angus, Burrelton and Meigle. In a typical school term week, we cater for 25-30 children with various mental and physical challenges. We also offer lessons for adults with disabilities.
Volunteering
We offer volunteering opportunities for people of all ages, interests and abilities. Our volunteers come from all backgrounds and bring with them a wealth of skills, from pony care and teaching to DIY know-how. Experience with horses isn’t essential and full training will be given.
Fundraising
As a registered charity, all of our activities are funded through donations, grants and fundraising activities. We are a group who believe passionately in the service we offer to the local community and welcome any financial support you can give us.
