Mid West 

Volunteers are the backbone of RDA. I began volunteering at the Midwest RDA centre when I started high school and have come ever since. I started off just by leading the ponies around the arena, but then I began to interact with each of the riders and watch their progress each week. You feel such joy when the children laugh and smile as they’re bounced around at the trot. Some days I feel that I could be doing other worthwhile things, but I am reassured each week when I am greeted by each child and I realise that there is nothing more worthwhile than this. To everyone who turns up even when the sun is hiding behind rain clouds it is with a hearty cheer that I salute you, for putting a smile on these special children’s faces.

Amy‛s Story

Special Fridays

Every Friday if it’s not raining or too hot,

Come a special group of children with their Dad or Mum, or even with their Pop. 

To spend some quality time, riding on a horse,

With friendly helpers making sure, they don’t fall of course.

There’s Harmony, Dakota, Monty and Mac,

These are the horses they ride,

Sometimes Cookie and Buddy come too,

They all have a leader and a walker on each side.

The riders do exercises while riding around,

Walking and trotting, having fun until

They are back on the ground.

Learning how to balance, stretching

Muscles along the way.

Having fun, meeting friends,

On this very special day.

Where are we ................. we’re at RDA.
