Highland Group RDA SCIO

About

Highland Group Riding for the Disabled seeks to transform the lives of vulnerable and protected people through a range of horse-centred programmes to improve physical and mental health. inspire confidence and promote self-esteem. Those we support have a wide range of disabilities, not all of them visible, and though most participants are children and young adults we have no age limit. We welcome individuals and school groups from a large geographical area with many participants living in remote areas. Through ridden and groundwork activities mobility, motor function, core strength and balance are improved, a bond between horse and participant leads to increased confidence and self- esteem. Well-being is improved through the formation of new friendships and a sense of belonging which reduce feelings of isolation.
