Arundel Park Riding for Disabled Inc (APRDA) is a sports club located in Arundel, Queensland, serving the Gold Coast community. The club's vision is to provide opportunities for stimulating and challenging activities in a safe and understanding environment for riders, non-riders, staff, volunteers, and the community.
Founded in 1981, under the name Gold Coast and Hinterland Riding School for the Disabled Association Incorporated, APRDA was established to offer a horse riding service for children and adults with disabilities. The club recognises that horse riding is a pleasurable form of physical exercise that has proven to be therapeutically beneficial for individuals with a wide range of disabilities.
The club has recently been awarded an “Off The Track” Grant by Racing Queensland, which highlights their commitment to supporting individuals with disabilities through equestrian activities. This grant further solidifies APRDA's dedication to providing inclusive opportunities for people in the community.
APRDA offers a variety of programmes to cater to the diverse needs and abilities of its participants. These programmes include the Independent Participant Programme, RDA Participant Programme, INSteP Paddock Pals Horsemanship Development Programme, Carriage Driving Programme, and Holiday Programmes.
In addition to their regular programmes, APRDA also organises holiday programmes during school breaks. These holiday activities provide additional opportunities for participants to engage in equestrian activities and enjoy the benefits of horse riding.
