Volunteers

Jared and Kate

This year Jared moved from being a participant with RDA into a volunteer role, and I jumped on board too, as I’ve always wanted to be able to help in some sort of capacity. This was the perfect time to be able to be more involved.

Jared and I were both surprised and honoured to receive the 2023 Volunteer Encouragement Award at the recent Presentation Day/Christmas Party.
We love the people and the serenity of RDA, so giving back to RDA was a no brainer, and they have also helped Jared over the years to grow and learn, and still do in his new capacity as volunteer. We look forward to many more years of volunteering with Tall Timbers! Kate & Jared Guild

Our Community

Great place for young people with disabilities to learn how to ride and gain fine and gross motor skills

Great facility, great people doing amazing work with those of us who are less fortunate

Very professionally run program....lovely people....and the horses are beautiful!

This program has benefited her so much. Even years ago, when she barely left the house, and we had to start homeschooling, this was a constant for her. Even then we had days where we had to cancel due to her anxiety. Now to see her go without anxiety, communicate with the volunteers on her own (I've actively tried to step back) and even cope with trotting (previously a lot of movement would cause panic). It is nothing short of amazing.

Great work done by great people

Excellent initiative

Fantastic people and facilities.

Being a parent of a special needs child can bring many challenges and at times can be isolating. Tall Timbers give endless benefits to the participants and their families.
