Wenlo RDA Group offer people with disabilities an opportunity to ride and look after horses to help their health, confidence, and self-esteem. We aim to teach new skills and promote independence by encouraging our riders to take charge of their horse in a safe and secure environment. .

Our group is wholly dependant on our team of volunteers whom are all of different ages and have a range of experience in a wealth of fields. You don't actually have to have any horse/riding experience to be a volunteer, as full training is given; you just need a willingness to want to help others achieve. .

Our riders are offered a variety of activities in addition to lessons; some may want to compete in regional and National events organised by Riding for the Disabled; others can enjoy riding in our beautiful countryside - the Beacon Hills national park is right on our doorstep; some riders just long to be around horses, stroking, grooming, and exploring the sensory experience at their own pace..

Facilities include: .

• an indoor school
• excellent hacking around Beacon Country Park and beyond
• mounting platforms
• accessibility for disabled people, including a hoist
