Riding Develops Abilities

Welcome to Riding for Disabled Association of Queensland (RDAQ), where empowerment meets compassion. We support children and adults living with disability—alongside their families—to discover joy, confidence and growth through therapeutic equine-assisted activities. Across Queensland, our accredited centres deliver safe, inclusive and professionally guided riding, horse-care and dressage experiences that build life skills and uplift spirits.


Whether you’re seeking meaningful ways to ride or be with horses, looking to volunteer your time and skills, or wanting to donate or sponsor, RDAQ invites you to join our caring and dedicated community. Together, we champion ability, connection and inclusion—for every person, every day.
