We currently have 11 RDA ponies/horses and we provide riding facilities to both adults and children in the boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lewisham and Southwark. We also have riders coming from further afield. We are open six days a week, and have between 75 and 100 regular riders who have a range of special needs including physical, sensory, and learning difficulties. We try to cater for all impairments and needs.

New Lodge Centre works across the spectrum of disabilities, age, and social status. The focus of our work is to ensure that each individual has the opportunity to achieve their personal goals, and chance to derive a direct therapeutic benefit. RDA gives individuals the opportunity to:

• Reach therapeutic goals
  
• Achieve their personal ambition
  
• Combat social isolation
  
• Develop life skills
  
• Experience the outdoors
  
• Connect with animals.
