Enriching lives through horses in the Highlands.
Our mission is to bring about meaningful and positive changes in the health and well-being of people with physical or mental disabilities through activities with our horses and ponies.
Our Story
What is Riding for the Disabled?
Across the Highlands, we provide riding sessions for people with a wide range of physical and mental disabilities — connecting them with our ponies in a way that's therapeutic, joyful, and life-changing.
