Our Group caters for people who live in the North Shore and Rodney areas. For over 35 years of operation, Greenhithe RDA Inc has made a difference to many children and adults in the community.

We ride during school terms. Please see our Facebook page for dates and times of operation.


We provide interaction with horses to develop increased ability, independence and self worth for children and adults who have physical intellectual, emotional or social challenges.


A horse’s three-dimensional movement (side-to-side, up and down, forward and backward) stimulate and aid physical improvement.


The horse is the perfect partner to aid self worth, confidence and social interaction.


Therapeutic riding provides exercise and can be a pathway to competitive sport.


Once referred to us, potential riders follow a defined process, including provision of their medical background, and the agreement of individual riding goals.


We welcome and assist people of all ages. A person may be referred to us in a number of ways, including word of mouth or referral from a health, recreational or teaching professional. Over 80 per cent of our riders are children and teenagers. 37 per cent have a physical or intellectual disability while just over a quarter are on the autistic spectrum. Many of our riders live with more than one disability.
