Welcome to Sunshine Coast Riding for the Disabled
........where Riding Develops Abilities
Sunshine Coast Riding for the Disabled (RDA) Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation providing supported equine-based therapeutic riding, driving and on-ground programs for all members of the disability community on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
All SCRDA Coaches are qualified CAD Coaches (Coaching Athletes with Disability) and are certified at Coach or Senior Coach Level. Our facilities and equipment are designed to address the needs of the disability community, and our programs are structured to engage participants in progressive activities that develop a range of physical, psychological and social outcomes over a period of time and are suitable for those that require trained and experienced support in order to participate.

Our program days are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. We are closed Sunday and Monday. We are aligned with the State School system, so are operational during school terms and are on holidays when the schools are on holidays.
