Be part of our story – your legacy can change lives
For over 50 years, Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) has been a place where the bond between people and horses transforms lives.
It’s where confidence grows, friendships are formed, and disabled children and adults discover what they can achieve. By choosing to leave a gift in your Will, you can help ensure this life-changing work continues, for generations to come.
Why leave a gift in your Will to RDA?
A gift in your Will is a powerful and personal way to shape the future.
After taking care of your loved ones, you may wish to leave a gift to a cause that reflects your values. For many of our supporters, that means helping more people feel welcomed, supported and valued through the power of horses.
Your gift could help us:
- Train specialist coaches so every rider receives the support they need
- Care for our horses and create safe, welcoming environments
- Reach more disabled children and adults across the UK
- Reduce waiting lists and open our doors to more people who could benefit
Even a small percentage of your estate can make a lasting difference.
A legacy of confidence, connection and belonging
At RDA, we believe in what people can do.
Through riding and equine-assisted activities, we support disabled children and adults to build confidence, independence and physical strength — while becoming part of a supportive and welcoming community.
For many people, this sense of belonging is life-changing.
“RDA gave my daughter her smile back. That’s a gift we’ll never forget.” — Parent of an RDA rider
With your support, we can reach thousands more people — and create a future where everyone has the opportunity to feel valued, included and empowered.
