North Shore Riding For The Disabled Inc.

Nestled in the heart of Northland, North Shore Riding For The Disabled Inc. stands as a beacon of hope, compassion, and transformation. Established with a vision to enrich lives and foster growth, our organisation has been serving the community for over four decades, weaving tales of resilience, healing, and joy. Our story begins not just on horseback but in the hearts of countless individuals who believed in the therapeutic power of equine interaction. We are more than a welfare organisation; we're a sanctuary where children and adults with diverse abilities find solace, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging. At our centre, the magic unfolds as riders embark on goal-based riding activities designed to improve physical, psychological, and social abilities. Each session is a unique journey tailored to the individual's needs, fostering progress at their own pace. The gentle giants, our horses, become trusted companions, mirroring and responding to the rider's movements, creating an environment of trust and understanding that transcends words. As the sun kisses the horizon, our days are filled with laughter, encouragement, and learning. Our recreational opportunities provide moments of pure joy, while our educational programmes instil knowledge about horse care, riding techniques, and equine-assisted therapy. But more than that, we offer experiences that broaden horizons, build self-confidence, and nurture a spirit of adventure. Our mission extends beyond the boundaries of our centre. We strive to create ripples of positivity in the wider community by advocating for inclusivity and equality. By breaking down barriers and fostering understanding, we aim to make the world a more compassionate place for everyone. So, step into our world, where dreams take flight, friendships bloom, and potential is unleashed. North Shore Riding For The Disabled Inc. - a testament to the healing power of friendship, the resilience of the human spirit, and the magic that unfolds when we open our hearts and minds to new experiences. Join us on this incredible journey, where every ride is a step towards a brighter future.
