Cambs College RDA is a fun and friendly group which meets weekly to provide equestrian activities to young adults with disabilities in the Cambridge area. Founded in the late 1980s, the group is well-established at The College of West Anglia's Milton campus in north Cambridge.

Who is it for?
Most of our riders are aged between 16 and 30. The RDA is suitable for people with all types of disabilities, including physical, sensory and learning disabilities, and many RDA riders have more than one type of disability. RDA coaches and volunteers are trained to help riders to have fun and progress whatever their disability, and various members of the group use specially adapted equipment to help them ride safely. You don't need to have any previous experience with horses, and some people like to come and watch some sessions before sitting on a horse for the first time. All RDA groups have an upper weight limit which varies from group to group, as it is based upon the maximum weight a group's horses can carry. Please note, our weight limit is 12.5 stone.
