Beechley Stables RDA is a self funding registered charity, based in Liverpool, and a member of The Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA). Our principal aim is to provide recreation and therapy, through riding, to promote the health and wellbeing of disabled people.
Beechley Stables RDA is part of the National Riding for the Disabled Association. We are based in Liverpool (North West England) and provide riding lessons for disabled adults and children from the ages of 6+.
Medical professionals recognise that there are significant therapeutic benefits for the rider. The warmth and three dimensional movement of the horse is transmitted through the riders body, gradually making it more relaxed and supple, reducing spasms and improving balance, posture and co-ordination.
For children and adults with disabilities, the companionship of animals is particularly invaluable, as many have trouble making connections to people. This emotional therapy is as important as the physical therapy riding can provide.
