Our Quiet Corners program offers a peaceful, low-pressure space for individuals to connect with horses through touch, speech, and breathing techniques.

Mandy has ME and Hypermobility Syndrome, and has been attending Quiet Corner sessions at Muirfield RDA since last year. She shared, “It’s an activity you can take at your own pace.” Mandy has developed a special bond with RDA pony Quincy during these sessions, which has brought comfort and calm.

We are looking for new volunteers!

Talland Group RDA is one of the longest running RDA groups in the UK ( 59 years this year!) we are an entirely volunteer-run group based at The Talland School of Equitation.

Our RDA group runs only on a Tuesday afternoon, under the coaching supervision of Emma Belcher and Brittany Lankston.
You would be with us from 13.00 - 15.30 each week.

We are currently at maximum capacity for riders, but have further demand that we cant accommodate without extra help.
Volunteers can be aged 14 and above. This is an excellent opportunity for those already interested in or involved with horses but no is experience as all training is provided, you just need to bring yourself and a smile!

You would be involved with the handling of ponies, leading horses/ ponies and riders, there may be some preparing the horses and ponies for the sessions, again if you aren't sure, all training is given, and you will have the RDA coach there to check everything for you.
Our RDA volunteers are essential to enable us to provide Horse riding as therapy for the adults and children that come to us.

We are looking for new volunteers who are able to commit to volunteering consistently weekly/ fortnightly, and let us know in good time if they become unavailable.

Volunteers aged 16+ are required to complete a DBS check (there is small fee required for processing).

If you are interested or have any questions please PM us, or drop us an email to [email protected] and one of us will get back to you asap. Please share!
