Abingdon RDA
Creating opportunities, building confidence and changing lives through the unique bond between people and horses.
Founded in 1975
Abingdon RDA was established in 1975 with the goal of providing therapeutic riding for people with disabilities. We celebrated our 50th anniversary last year, with a series of wonderful fundraising activities.
These events will not only honour our past achievements but also support our ongoing mission, ensuring that we can continue making a positive impact for the next 50 years. Stay tuned for ways to join the celebration and contribute to our future!
