At Central Coast Riding for the Disabled, horses aren’t just companions — they’re lifelines. This remarkable not-for-profit organization offers equine-assisted activities to people of all ages and abilities, including those with intellectual, physical, sensory, and psychosocial disabilities. Through personalized programs that include riding, grooming, trail rides, games, and even disciplines like Dressage and Carriage Driving, RDA NSW creates transformative experiences that foster growth, connection, and achievement.
With a little help from Rose-Hip Vital Equine, the center's cherished horses—Eddy, Larry, Zip, Bobby, Duke, Buster, Buddy, Smokey, Wesley, and Vegas—are now moving more freely, feeling younger, and continuing to bring joy to their riders. Thanks to the natural anti-inflammatory support of rosehip powder, they’re thriving with smoother strides, brighter spirits, and renewed vitality.
This support ensures these hardworking horses can continue serving their riders with strength and grace—proving that care, compassion, and the right support can truly change lives. Whether it's helping a young rider build confidence or supporting an athlete on the path to the Paralympics, RDA NSW and Rose-Hip Vital are united in their mission to enhance wellbeing, mobility, and joy—one stride at a time.
