Volunteers needed at Carlow riding school to help people with disabilities learn to ride a horse

GAIN Equine Nutrition is partnering with Riding for the Disabled Association Ireland (RDA Ireland) to support the free horse riding and carriage-driving sessions the charity provides to hundreds of children and adults with disabilities every week. The three year partnership with the charity is in keeping with GAIN Equine Nutrition and parent company, Tirlán’s Living Proof sustainability strategy and the world-class food and nutrition co-operative’s commitment to supporting its farm families and the communities in which they live. RDA Ireland was established over 50 years ago and its 360 volunteers work in 30 groups across the country to provide all-important weekly riding or carriage driving-sessions to over 300 children and adults with disabilities. The charity is appealing for willing volunteers who are comfortable around horses to come forward and learn from existing volunteers, many of whom have been with the charity for over 20 years. Pictured at the launch were 13 year-old service user, Adam, and volunteer coach, Sarah Lawlor.
