Family Fun Gala Day
Our family fun gala day on 21st September was a huge success. Great fun was in abundance and we raised just over £2,000. Our thanks to those who attended and supported the event.
Welcome to Gordon Group Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) & Inverurie Therapy Pony Centre
We provide a variety of pony-based activities, but our main activity is our RDA Ridden Sessions, which take place Monday to Thursday each week. We also hold Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL), unmounted sessions with our therapy ponies, Stable Management / Pony Care Courses (ASDAN Qualifications), Tea With The Ponies Events and other fundraising events throughout the year taking place at our Centre and Sensory Trail.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tweeddale.
Karen Moore (Chair & Trustee)
Our mission at Gordon Group RDA is to use our ponies to improve and enrich the lives of individuals with physical, intellectual, or mental health difficulties and challenges.
Volunteer for us
Gordon RDA is a volunteer-based organisation so we are very dependent on the kindness and generosity of people giving up their time to help our participants and to support the running of Gordon RDA.
Volunteers quickly become part of our Gordon RDA community and make a huge difference to our participants. As a volunteer you help our participants make progress and enjoy being part of their journey, you will will learn new skills, make new friends, keep fit and healthy and benefit from the wonderful cakes that often appear in the coffee room!
Volunteers are well trained by our coaches and co-ordinators but they also have the opportunity to do more training and eventually to become an RDA coach.
Sponsor a pony
For only £10 per month, you can help feed and care for us and our friends. This will allow over 65 children and adults to enjoy both ridden and non-ridden activities each week.
