+- About Highland Group RDA + Who, why, where, when & how?
- Enriching lives through horses in the Highlands since - 1975. + Highland Group RDA was established in 1975.
-- Highland Group RDA is a member of the National Riding for - the Disabled Association (RDA), and of the Grampian and - Highland Regional RDA. We provide safe, supportive - sessions that help riders build confidence, strength, and - connection through equine activities. +
+ We are located at our own premises just outside + Kirkhill, near Inverness. We operate from Spring to + Autumn 4 days per week. The majority of our + participants are Inverness and Ross-shire based with + a reach including Glenurquhart, Dingwall and + Inverness. +
++ We are completely self-funded and rely on income + from donations for our sessions, fundraising from + local events and available grants to fund our + services, upkeep of our facilities and most + importantly fund the care and training of our + wonderful ponies.

- Our Mission -
-- Our mission is to bring about meaningful and positive - changes in the health and well-being of people with - physical or mental disabilities through activities with - our horses and ponies. -

+ + Samantha's Story +
++ Read Samantha's story and find out how her + RDA sessions have not only improved her physical + and mental wellbeing, but helped her to overcome + her prognosis of never being able to walk. +
++ Full Story here... +
+
+
+ Riding helps to correct her posture and protects + the spine and hips while it strengthens the + muscles. More than that, it gives a sense of + achievement and of being just as + 'able-bodied' as everyone else on the + back of a horse. +
++ He feels the responsibility of controlling such + a large and powerful animal and it helps him + understand life just that bit better. It's + also very calming for him, especially at the end + of a session when he can nurture the horse by + brushing her and giving her some hay. +
+

- What We Do -
--
-
- Inclusive riding sessions for all abilities. -
- Supportive, qualified volunteers and coaches. -
- Community events and family engagement. -
- Opportunities to grow confidence and independence. -
+
+ We cannot thank the team at RDA Highland enough for + what they've done for our child. To see only + the individual and the pure joy of achievement, and + not the disability is a tremendous gift. Our whole + family benefits from these sessions. Thank you. +
++ RDA's gentle, calm and serene atmosphere + coupled with the warm sentient creature that she can + bond with and enjoy without needing words. I think + it helps her to feel calm and grounded and gives a + huge sense of achievement. RDA is such an important + part of our lives and each of my children take + something different away. +

++ We are able to carry out our life-changing activities + thanks to you. +
++ We couldn't do what we do without the hard work and + dedication of our wonderful volunteers and fundraisers. + We wouldn't be where we are without the kindness + and generosity of our sponsors and donors. +
++ We understand not everyone is in the position to be able + to volunteer but donations are just as impactful. We are + truly grateful for any and every donation received as we + can only do what we do as a result of self-funding. +

+
+ + Volunteering +
++ We welcome all volunteers, you don't have to know + anything about horses, or even like being around + animals, there are plenty of other opportunities for you + to get involved and help us. We also need lots of help + with other tasks such as fundraising, publicity, + painting, creating new activities for the participants + and general maintenance. +
++ Volunteering for sessions involves: +
+-
+
- Grooming +
- Tacking up the ponies +
- + Leading the ponies and/or walking beside the ponies + to support the riders + +
- Poo picking the fields +
+ To find out more about volunteering for an RDA centre, + download our Volunteer Information Pack. +
++ How much time do I need to commit? +
++ If you are keen to work with our participants then you + would need to be available during one of our session + times - Tuesday - Friday mornings. If you can commit to + helping regularly it would be great, but everyone + understands that's not always possible and there + are usually many other flexible options available - + especially in summer. +
++ How can I apply? +
++ You can contact us via email or phone by clicking here. +
++ How old do I need to be and what credentials do I need + to have? +
++ All volunteers must be 12 or over. There is no upper age + limit. We have Public Liability insurance and Trustee + Indemnity for all volunteers. Volunteers aged between 12 + and 90 also have Personal Accident insurance (with some + restrictions for those aged between 80 and 90). +
++ You will need to provide the names and contact details + of 2 referees who are not a relative or partner and who + have known you for more than 1 year. Volunteers of 16 + years of age and over who are actively involved with our + sessions are required to undergo an enhanced disclosure + check because they are volunteering with vulnerable + adults and children. +
+
+
+ + Sponsor a pony +
++ Why sponsor a pony? +
++ We currently have a school of ponies which all require + care and attention. Our volunteers and coaches work hard + every day all year round to ensure our ponies are well + looked after and suitable for our riders. By sponsoring + a pony, you are enabling us to enrich the lives of + disabled children and adults throughout the Highlands. +
++ How much does it cost to sponsor a Highland Group RDA + pony? +
++ You can sponsor as little or as much as you like but + here are some of the things we regularly need to look + after our ponies and ensure we can keep running our RDA + sessions. +
+-
+
- £34 every 6 weeks for hoof trimming +
- £35 for a large bale of hay +
- £60 for a vet to visit +
- £20 for a bag of feed +
- £4 for a bag of carrots +
- £30 to fund a riding session +
- £75 to buy a riding hat +
+ How do I pay? +
++ We are working on a payment method so we thank you for + bearing with us. If you would like more information, + please get in touch. +
+
+
+ + Fundraising +
++ Highland Group RDA is self-funded, as are all RDA + groups. We have to self fund coaching fees, the care of + our beautiful ponies, riding equipment, insurance and + everything else that comes with running an RDA group. +
++ One of the ways we raise money for the upkeep of + Highland Group RDA is through fundraising. We run a + variety of events throughout the year and are always + looking for volunteers to support in running these + events. If you can spare some time to assist or are + aware of any fundraising opportunities, please get in + touch. We'd love to hear from you! +
