25.01.2022 We would like to introduce you to our new VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR Lois. Lois comes to us from RDA Tasmania where she was both volunteer coordinator as well as a level 1 coach. We are extremely fortunate and very thankful to have Lou’s join our team here at RDA OAKFORD. If you would like any information about volunteering please feel free to email Lois at: [email protected]

25.01.2022 As you may know, this week is RDA AWARENESS WEEK. RDA is more than horses. Its more than people riding horses. Its more than volunteers. Its about a community of old and young, big and small, weak and strong all coming together in an beautiful place of love and happiness. Riders go home feeling happy and have a sense of achievement, volunteers go home feeling great and humbled that they have this opportunity to help others with special needs and the horses too, go back to their paddocks knowing they have made a difference. How blessed are we to have RDA in our lives.

24.01.2022 A day of fun and lots of flys . Didn’t deter our riders though.
