Welcome
Welcome To Aim RDA
Aim RDA was founded in 2024, the first new RDA group in a number of years, by a group of passionate, like-minded volunteers. Our founding members all have extensive experience of how horses can empower disabled people, and wanted to make this new venture a positive and progressive representation of the best that RDA can be.

What we Do
Our Mission
Aim RDA is run by a group of volunteers who are passionate about the potential of RDA and the people who need it. With more than forty years of combined experience prior to Aim RDA’s foundation, we have an excellent understanding of our parent organisation and where our own vision fits within its future.
RDAUK’s motto is “it’s what you can do that counts”. We want to support disabled participants to pursue what really “makes it count” for them. Achievement within disability sport can take many forms, from improving confidence, mobility and mental well-being, to achieving personal bests in national or international competition. Aim RDA seeks to understand every participant and what they want to achieve through their relationship with the Riding for the Disabled movement.
Our values
“Aim” stands for our core values: ability, independence, motivation. We believe so strongly in these values that we named our group after them. Our approach is participant-centred and volunteer-powered, with a strong focus on communication, progress, and understanding.
Our commitment
Aim RDA is committed to providing an environment for RDA sessions, participants, volunteers and supporters which is:
- encouraging and empowering for disabled participants, giving well-structured opportunities to achieve personal goals
- supportive and satisfying for the volunteers who make all we do possible:
- run in compliance with RDAUK policy to keep all parties (including equines) safe, happy, and respected
- ambitious, dynamic, and positive
