Riding for the Disabled (RDA)

About RDA:

The Riding for the Disabled Association(Singapore) provides free, therapeutic horse riding lessons to children and adults with disabilities from all over Singapore.

Horses provide a tool for physical therapy, emotional growth, and cognitive improvement, in a unique format that is fun, exhilarating, and sometimes has the power to change a person’s perspective on life. Besides the physical benefits derived from therapeutic riding, the contact with the animal is a powerful experience, and the strong bond that is sometimes experienced often has a profound, uplifting effect on people who are troubled or suffering.


RDA can benefit virtually all disabilities, both physical and learning disabilities, in children and adults. As well as providing recreation and sport, riders gain increased self-confidence, improved circulation, respiration, balance, coordination and mobility. For someone who is unable to walk unaided, see or has communication difficulties, riding a horse allows them to experience a new sense of freedom and independence. Friends are made and it’s fun.
