Benefits of Riding
RDA Riders attend riding to achieve a specific goal, whether it is therapeutic, educational or sporting. Riding develops, improves and promotes:\
•Balance and coordination, posture and muscle tone
•Concentration, self discipline and self-esteem
•Perception and spatial awareness
•Communication and social skills
•Independence and encourages decision making
Bay of Islands Riding for the Disabled is a non-profit making organisation.
BOI RDA does not receive any government funding and relies entirely on the generosity of the public for support.
BOI RDA charges only a minimal fee for their service which does not cover their running costs. Therefore, their volunteers have to spend many hours and resources on fundraising and sourcing corporate funding to enable the group to carry on operating.
Show your support for the BOI Riding for the Disabled by purchasing your ticket for the BOI Wedding and Fashion Expo from our exhibitors!
