RDA Oakford
Riding for the Disabled Oakford is a voluntary, not for profit, registered charity organisation located in Oakford, Western Australia established in 2001. Our focus is to provide life changing riding programs using therapeutic intervention to develop and strengthen the physical, cognitive and psychosocial lives of children and adults with disability.
What we do
RDA Oakford provides Equine Therapeutic Riding Programs for children and adults with disabilities. Our aim is to create an inclusive environment where each rider can experience joy and have a sense of belonging in our RDA Oakford community.
Without volunteers sharing their time and enthusiasm, RDA Oakford would not be able to offer the services and support they do. Volunteering provide the opportunity to make a difference to someone else’s life, stay active and be part of a giving community.
Hippotherapy is a physiotherapy treatment tool for children and adults with goals relating to ambulation, balance, righting reactions, upper limb function, falls, postural stability, gross motor skills and core strength.
