RDA-Bringing People Together<br />
RDA-is a place where people with disabilities can learn<br />
how to ride a horse. It helps them to improve their<br />
riding skills and confidence around horses.<br />
There are a lot of different RDA centres in NSW. Our<br />
local RDA is located on Plumpton Road in Wagga<br />
Wagga. The Wagga Wagga Centre has 5 qualified<br />
coaches, plus volunteers who help out and look after<br />
the riders. At RDA you can do different activities such<br />
as bending, flags, key hole, and barrels. You can have a<br />
lot of fun meeting the coaches and volunteers. You<br />
also get familiar with the horse after riding it for a<br />
while. It takes time to progress and to get your<br />
confidence up to level.<br />
Riders have the opportunity to compete with other<br />
RDA riders from around NSW and get to meet them<br />
and make new friends. The mounted games are held at<br />
the annual Royal Easter Show in Sydney. The best part<br />
of RDA is allowing riders to have fun and enjoy<br />
themselves.<br />
