Rossway RDA

Rossway RDA The Rossway Group is a riding for the disabled centre providing riding and therapy opportunities for We assess all our riders before accepting them.

Welcome to Rossway RDA

For more than 40 years the Rossway Group, part of Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA), has been creating unique opportunities for people with all forms of difficulties – physical and cognitive - through riding therapy. Riding gives people with limited mobility the chance to stretch and move muscles in a way that may not be possible with other forms of exercise. The ri

der's position in the saddle and the movement of the horse is a therapy in itself, improving rider's balance, co-ordination and muscle tone. Riding also gives a great sense of freedom and the empathy, which develops between our riders and their horses, is lovely to see. Confidence often improves, along with increased self-esteem and well-being. We run 5 half-hourly sessions on a Thursday afternoon during term time. The class sizes are small - 4 or 5 riders only - and the cost is kept to a minimum. Our Instructors are fully qualified and we have a wonderful team of enthusiastic and experienced helpers who are also trained in all aspects of horse care and safety procedures. Appropriate DBS checks are run on everyone attached to the Group. Our riders are referred to us by GPs, physiotherapists, schools, occupational therapists or independently. Ages range from 4 - 75 years and there is an upper weight limit of around 13 stone, but this is dependent on individual rider characteristics. Trustees

Rossway RDA is run and managed by a group of Trustees who are responsible for the organisation and running of the group. We are all also committee members and cumulatively have excellent communication, teaching and equine skills and years of teaching practice! Chairman and RDAGC - Mrs Irene Purse

As part of our partnership with Shardeloes Farm Equestrian Centre I would like to say the following ;-

Rossway RDA is thrilled that Irene, our Chairman, is a Platinum Champion!! We nominated Irene for her 'outstanding commitment to volunteering' as part of the Platinum Champions Awards and whilst she didn't get to go to The Palace to receive her award she has been promised one of Pat's lovely cakes, which apparently is a good alternative! A lovely start to Volunteers' Week (1-7 June) and one to which we volunteers at Rossway will raise a glass.

So very very well deserved Irene Purse, it's people like you that really do make a difference
