Who We Are
RDA Kendall is a registered charity — a volunteer-run, self-funded centre that has been serving the Camden Haven and surrounding communities since 1994.
As part of Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) Australia, we share a national mission while remaining deeply community-driven. Our focus is on ability, not disability.
We support individuals with physical, intellectual, sensory, or learning challenges to ride safely, grow in confidence, and experience the unique connection between rider and horse.
What We Do
We provide safe, inclusive programs that help riders develop confidence, coordination, and social connection.
⚪Led by trained coaches
⚪Supported by passionate volunteers
⚪ Delivered weekly during school terms at our purpose-built centre on Old Coach Road in Kendall
⚪Safe, horse-based experiences that bring joy, growth, and belonging.
Why We Do It
We do it because — we believe in our horses and in their ability to create a powerful bond with our riders.
We do it because — it makes a difference to our riders. You see our riders grow. A word spoken for the first time, a confident smile or a goal achieved.
We do it because — it is also for ourselves. To make that connection, to have a purpose, or simply the quiet satisfaction of seeing others enjoy life — together we are making a difference.
How We Do It
Our centre runs entirely on volunteer power — from riding coaches and horse leaders to those helping with feeding, administration, fundraising, and maintenance.
