Our coaches work closely with physiotherapists and other health professionals to encourage every individual to aim for attainable goals – some modest, others far more ambitious.
Riders are given opportunities at all levels from riding for pure therapeutic value through to competing at Regional, National and International Level within RDA and Para Dressage. While competition plays a healthy role in Penniwells RDA activities, our focus is to ensure that all our riders gain maximum benefit from a positive and enjoyable form of exercise.
