On this International Volunteer Day, we want to take the opportunity to thank our dedicated volunteers across the country for their mahi.

Riding for the Disabled provides opportunities for people who want to give back to their community, grow new friendships, gain new skills, and have rewarding and fulfilling experiences. Interested in volunteering at your local RDA group? 👉 https://bit.ly/VolunteersRDA

Fireworks time again!! 🥺😬🥺
Because we are so close to the beach we ask that you please be sensible and consider our RDA horses. They are very special to us and the riders that get such Joy from them.
Waikouaiti is a very special community with so many horses grazing all over the place (maybe more horses than people 😆).
Thank you and have a safe evening.
Reminder to bring your cats and dogs inside ❤️
