About West Suffolk Group Riding for the Disabled
The West Suffolk Group RDA provides therapeutic horse riding to participants of all ages and disability in the West Suffolk area. Our aim is to improve physical and mental wellbeing, and support all aspects of learning and interaction for the pupils of two special educational needs schools who attend during their school day. Participants are also referred from the Child Development Centre to aid physical and emotional development and social skills. Progress areas include improved physical strength, motor skills, relationships, communication, confidence, self esteem and the achievement of learning to ride, and above all enjoyment. Therapeutic outcomes can be measured via the RDA Tracker tool, recorded and compared to show a chart in the form of a rosette which can be printed and given to the individual rider, school, therapist, parent or carer.
