Abingdon RDAThe
Abingdon Group, founded in 1975. dispenses a unique therapy to over
130 children and adults, whose ages range from 2 to 70.
All enjoy the experience of riding, driving or vaulting with
opportunities to join in social activities, competitions or go on
National holidays all of which combine to bring a new dimension to
restricted lives, encourage independence, give confidence and
generally improve the well being of each individual. This
is all made possible thanks to over 120 volunteers, who regularly
give up their time and energy to ensure that the Group provides 1586
rides, drives and vaulting sessions each year. We aim to
provide our volunteers with training, friendship and fun. The
Group caters for many diverse disabilities, including learning
difficulties, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida,
muscular dystrophy and a variety of syndromes. We
have 12 ponies who do a magnificent job for our disabled riders. Riding,
driving and vaulting must be fun at all costs. Our
Centre is a place of great achievement, where new friendships are
made, confidence gained and often medical conditions improved.
