A huge welcome to Norfolk Coast RDA where our mission is to enrich lives through riding horses and ponies. 

Riding for the Disabled is a national charity which thrives under the presidency of HRH Princess Anne. In 2019 it is 50 years old.

Norfolk Coast RDA, is a recently established group, which evolved from the 30 year old North Norfolk RDA and we now enjoy the patronage of international event rider - Piggy March.

We provide school age children and adults with the opportunity to experience the horses and ponies from the North Norfolk Riding Centre based in Little Walsingham and which is leased from the Walsingham Estate.

Our group is open to people with a range of disabilities and we offer activities from stable management, beginners riding and competitions at home and away.

We are very grateful to our volunteers who have incredible talents and skills and we are always keen to have more joining us.

Welcome Michael Bishop!This week we are delighted to welcome Michael Bishop as RDA’s new CEO. Michael’s career has spanned private, voluntary, and public sectors and he brings extensive leadership experience. Michael is passionate about RDA’s mission, and the powerful social, physical, and mental benefits of spending time with horses. Opening up that experience to more people, particularly those with less opportunity and diverse needs, is paramount to him. His love of horses was sparked at an early age growing up in London, helping at the local stables. Michael’s enthusiasm for equestrianism endures, and he now competes as a keen amateur event rider.💚 rda.org.uk/news_cpt/rda-appoints-new-ceo/ ... See MoreSee Less

#autismawarenessAs you know I meant to share this yesterday as part of World Autism Awareness Day - I am really proud to be autistic and always find my life so constantly challenging sometimes. One thing that always makes a huge difference in my whole life is spending time with horses and riding them on my journey!I am really lucky to have so much support from Scropton Horse Centre which is part of the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) as an RDA rider and volunteer over the past 24 years getting where I am today 💚"I've always found being with horses and riding makes me feel so much better. When I was growing up and other things were difficult, riding was the one thing that really worked for me."#WorldAutismAwarenessDay ... See MoreSee Less
