Covid safety: We encourage all visitors to the Centre to be double vaccinated. Mask wearing is optional.
Expectations for parents: Parents/carers are welcome to stay at the Centre. To ensure the privacy of other participants we ask that no photographs be taken throughout the event except at the end of the activity (approx 3pm) when the Coaches will make an opportunity to take a photograph of your child with your horse.
An RDA appointed volunteer may be in attendance at some sessions to capture imagery and/or footage for RDA's website, social media & promotional materials. During the booking process you will be given the option to consent to having photographs taken.
What to wear: For safety, the participant must wear enclosed shoes, long pants, and we may ask to remove any dangly jewellery or scarves that might frighten our horses.
Cancellation policy: We rely on the generosity of volunteers and donations to run RDA Ryde and its programs. As our class sizes are small we can offer a 50% refund if a cancellation is made 14 days prior to the event. No refund can be offered if cancellation is made within 14 days of the event. In the case of cancellation by the Centre, the session will be rescheduled or a 100% refund offered.
This program does not make any therapeutic claims as it is not run by individuals qualified in mental health, but by experienced RDA coaches and volunteers who understand the benefits of interacting with horses, particularly if the play is mindful, focussed, and deliberate. Volunteers never offer advice but will practice active listening.
