RIDING FOR THE DISABLEd

Riding Develops Abilities

Riding Develops Abilities

Our disabled riders, their carers, our volunteers, and the Northern Rivers community are extremely grateful for the generous financial support received from the following groups, local businesses and individuals. Together we create our caring, connected community.

Riding for the disabled - McNamara Centre

Outdoor Riding

Glen Burnie is an amazing 46 hectare property which we received as a generous bequest from Brian McNamara. Our dedicated volunteers and generous supporters are doing everything possible to make the most of this legacy for the whole community. We enjoy paddock rides, roofed arena lessons and obstacle courses whenever possible.

Lessons

All lessons are supervised by qualified RDA (NSW) accredited coaches and are fully insured. We help our riders make the most of their unique gifts with encouragement, support and a fun learning environment. Riders come to our Ballina and Districts centre from Lismore, Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Kyogle, Casino, Wardell, Clunes, Bex Hill, Federal, Eureka, Bangalow and other Northern Rivers towns.
