The Gisborne Riding for Disabled (also known as the Gisborne RDA) is a not-for-profit organisation which provides opportunities for anyone with a disability to enjoy safe, healthy, stimulating, therapeutic horse riding and horse related activities in the East Coast region.

We're looking for experienced horse riders to help exercise our horses. While we'd love to teach everyone, we don’t have the resources to provide riding lessons - so you’ll need to be confident in handling and riding a horse independently.

We provide an extensive induction and training programme, in line with NZRDAs policies and procedures. NZRDA also provides the opportunity to complete NZQA qualifications, such as Equine Skills (Level 2), Assistant Coach (Level 3), and Coach (Level 4).

Requirements:
  • Committed and reliable
  • Be able to work autonomously
  • Competent at riding horses
  • Complying with NZRDA policies and procedures: for example, Health and Safety, Confidentiality
