Carriage program. Inclusion programs. RDA promotes the learning of new skills, meeting new people, gaining confidence as an individual.
 From learning how to take care of a horses needs, feeding, brushing/cleaning feet, saddling a horse. Some clients only do the brushing of horses, once they are confident they can move on to perhaps riding a horse - first led then on there own.
 If they are not ready to ride a horse then there is the carriage program where they get to enjoy riding around, learning how to control a horses movements. RDA coaches teach the participants how to look after and clean the equipment for the horses and the carriages.
They also learn how to muck out yards and the arena, how to rug up a horse once there lesson is finished. In the summer clients can sometimes participate in the washing of the horses.
Coaches work one on one with a client or in a group. They try to always make it a fun experience. The clients learn a new skill, and get to practice each time they come. Once they have mastered it a new skill in the process of riding or care is added in.

Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2020

 

Focus Areas and strategies to ensure 

“equity of access for all people living within the City of Mount Gambier and that minimum standards of Disability Discrimination Act 1992 compliance are met.”        

 

The Act itself is a document that encompasses and identifies the rights, needs and community and social requirements for individuals with a disability. 

There is a pictorial version which is easy to read.

The Act provides something in writing that shows what the local council and community are going to do to help generate greater awareness, inclusiveness, and opportunity for our disabled clients within the community.
