No matter what the disability - we can help!

We work with care homes, to provide therapeutic services for their residents, and we work with individual disabled drivers.

Our clients include:

• Paraplegics & amputees
• Other wheel-chair users
• Stroke victims
• Adults with learning difficulties

Our ponies, volunteers, and qualified RDA Whips provide our clients with a truly therapeutic experience;

Our team works with our clients, and their carers, to match our services to their needs.

Some clients just want to feel the joy of holding the reins, even though their disability means that the reins are connected to the pony’s head-collar, while the RDA Whip’s reins are connected to the pony’s bit!

Other clients, including some with severe disability, are determined to be “in the driving seat”:  their reins ARE connected to the pony’s bit (alongside those of the RDA Whip).

Carriage-driving ponies don’t discriminate. They respond to their driver, no matter what disability that driver may have.
