The aim of the RDA is to give the opportunity of riding (and driving) to any disabled persons who might benefit in general health and happiness.
Today in Great Britain and Ireland there are 720 riding and 115 driving groups with over 25,000 people participating.
At the Elisabeth Curtis Centre we have approximately 100 riders.
Some come as part of their schools programme, some from medical recommendations, and others for general recreation.
Organisations who use the Centre are: Bedford & Shires NHS Trust; St. John’s School, Kempston; McIntyre Day Centre, Westoning; Home Farm Trust; Sunflower House, Bedford.
Many people come with their parents or by themselves, either to our evening or Saturday morning sessions. Our age range is approximately four to infinity,……..some of our helpers are in their seventies so why should the riders stop?
