Marlborough Riding for the Disabled

Marlborough Riding for the Disabled Marlborough RDA Group is a non profitable organisation. Our focus is to make a positive difference. Our vision is to reach more riders and change more lives

RDA provides interaction with horses to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for people experiencing disability, or who have specific challenges or needs, enabling them to have meaningful participation in, and contribution to, their community. RDA is all about providing goal-based riding activities that increase the ability, strength and confidence of people with physical, intellectual, emotional and social challenges.

Oh what a night. "Courses for Horses 2026"
100 people eating out at 12 amazing, supportive restaurants and then a great catch up at 5Tapped Limited. Thank you to everyone that joined us.

Cannot thank the restaurant owners enough for believing in what we do and supporting this event and for all of you who turned up, prepared to have a fun night out.

Silent Auction (thank you to those who donated) , Meat Raffles (Thank you team at Meaters of Marlborough Ltd) and our mystery bottle game added to the evening.

Apologies for the lack of photos although Belinda Jackson and I (Jo) went to each restaurant to visit - we were enjoying seeing everyone so much the camera did not come out!

We are still counting the money - but it was very successful - over $9K That is a nice contribution towards our operating costs and realising our vision - Reach More Riders, Change More Lives

Saulo and the team at Gramado's Restaurant And Bar have been amazing supporters to Marlborough Riding for the Disabled over the last few years.
