The Riding for the Disabled Glasgow Group is a large riding establishment based in the Summerston area of Glasgow - a Member Group of the National Riding for the Disabled Association

We provide a riding facility in the Glasgow area for children with special needs from local schools during the day and for adults with special needs in the evening.

We are dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities, through the provision of opportunities for riding and carriage driving.

The Centre

The centre was officially opened in 1988 by HRH, the Princess Royal, president of the Riding for the Disabled Association Charity. The premises were purpose built with stabling for 20 horses, an indoor and outdoor arena, offices, tea bar and flats for the yard staff. We recently installed a hoist to aid riders mount their ponies more easily.

The Classes

Classes accommodating over 200 riders are run from 10 am to 9 pm Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings.

Our Riders

All types of riders are catered for, with a wide age range. This experience is not only beneficial to those who are physically disabled but also to those who are autistic, blind, suffering from problems associated with mental health or other special needs.

We aim to teach to new skills and promote independence by encouraging our riders to take charge of their horse. Our riders enjoy riding in small classes in our indoor arena as well as outside. Our activities can provide a dynamic, motor and sensory experience where self esteem and self discipline can be raised.

We provide a support system for the parents and carers of our riders; they are able to meet in our café, while the classes are continuing.
