About The RDA Unicorn Centre


Welcome to the Unicorn Centre, a member group of the Riding for the Disabled Association, based in Middlesbrough in the Tees Valley.

We provide horse-based activities such as riding, equine therapy and volunteering for young people and adults with additional needs in our fully accessible state-of-the art-equestrian facility.  With a range of other programmes and activities that help people develop life skills, emotional intelligence and wellbeing, all activities are led by our qualified staff team and supported by our amazing volunteers.

JustGiving Campaign

Donate now and help secure the Unicorn Centre's future

Please help us to save the RDA Unicorn Centre from the threat of closure. Sadly, due to the continuing inpact of the Covid lockdowns and the cost of living crisis, we don't have sufficient funds to cope with rising running costs. We've launched an ambitious plan to raise £100,000 to enable us to increase our activities with new staff and horses and carry out a maintenance programme on the buildings and fields.

We're doing everything we can to keep going and your ideas and support will help enormously.

Please donate whatever you can spare to our appeal to secure the future of the Unicorn Centre - every pound will help.

Thank You!

Raised £58,368       Goal £100,000



HOW TO RIDE HERE

We ask all potential participants to complete an RDA participant application form, so that we can check we can accommodate your needs.

We will contact you to arrange a half-hour assessment session; this is where you will have the opportunity to see our facilities, meet the staff and horses and discuss your requirements and availability for our sessions.

After your assessment we will add you to our waiting list for an available regular riding session. The length of wait can vary considerably depending on your circumstances and the availability of a suitable horse.
