About Riding for the Disabled Top End
Riding for Disabled Top End is a Not for Profit Community Organisation that is dedicated to providing opportunities to participate in equestrian and related activities in a safe and supportive environment resulting in improved quality of life. These opportunities are available to people with disabilities, youth at risk, community groups, members of the wider community and volunteers. We aim to achieve this through the provision of sporting, recreational and therapeutic programs operated by trained and caring people who are committed now and into the future.
The RDA in the Top End Centre is situated on 40 acres in Marlow Lagoon, close to Palmerston, and only 25 minutes from Darwin. We have a full-size, sand-based indoor riding arena which allows us to conduct classes throughout the wet season and also have an outdoor riding arena for dry season activities.
Our values include:
* Community & Friendship
* Honesty & Integrity
* Safety & Efficiency
* Respect & Equal Opportunity
