Joining the Program

RDA Doveton operates from an indoor riding arena at Myuna Farm, as such we don’t need to cancel too many bad weather days.

During 2019 we will add some trail riding opportunities to our program. We have a hoist available to assist riders to mount the horse. Our team of coaches are striving to get the best out of our riders.  Teaching riding skills through different activities, mounted games, horse care but above all ensure our riders have fun whilst learning new skills, from improving balance and communication to independent riding.

Volunteering

Sessions are run in an indoor arena with access to outdoor trails. We operate four 30 minute sessions during school terms and have 4 qualified coaches. Our coaches work to develop sessions to provide enjoyment and pleasure, within the capabilities of the riders. Each term the sessions are based on different themes eg AFL football. We have visiting specialists for dressage and jumping, spread throughout the year. A hoist is available for those who need it and trained volunteers support riders at all times. Helmets are provided for each rider. Riders of all ages are welcome to apply.
