Welcome to the South Region website of the Riding for the Disabled Association

Updated on 21st May 2023

We cover Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire and have 47 groups within those counties. The groups vary in size and facilities, and offer riding and/or carriage driving for adults and/or children. All instructors have to meet RDA National standards and work closely with physiotherapists to ensure that every individual is encouraged to participate as fully as possible and obtain a sense of achievement.

If you are interested in taking part in riding or carriage driving or would like to know about helping as a volunteer please contact the appropriate County Chairman as detailed in Regional Contacts.
