This National Volunteer Week, we celebrate the heart of RDA Carine — our amazing volunteers 💙🐴

Thank you for the time, care, energy, and compassion you give so generously every week. Whether you’re leading horses, supporting riders, helping behind the scenes, or simply offering encouragement and smiles, your contribution makes a lasting impact on our entire community.

Because of you, our riders grow in confidence, independence, and joy. Your dedication helps create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for making a difference and for being such an important part of the RDA Carine family 🌟

This visit from Basil Zempilas and Liam Staltari MLA concluded with a demonstration of our Simulator Gateway Program which is an important and growing part of what we offer at RDA Carine.

Proudly supported by Telethon7 Perth, the simulator provides a safe, controlled environment for participants to experience equine movement. It plays a key role as a gateway into our broader programs, particularly for those who may not yet be ready for mounted sessions.

It also allows us to maintain continuity and expand access, ensuring more people can benefit from the outcomes our programs deliver.

And yes, Liam gave it a try, highlighting how the simulator provides a safe and supportive starting point for many of our participants.

A key part of visits like this is the opportunity to hear directly from the people who make RDA Carine what it is, our families and volunteers.

Parents shared not only the value they receive from the program, but also some of the challenges they face supporting a person living with disability or navigating mental health needs. These conversations are important and help shape how we continue to improve and adapt our programs.

We also have the chance to highlight the role of our volunteers. Their consistency, care, and commitment are at the heart of every session, helping to create an environment where participants feel safe, supported, and connected.

RDA Carine is built on this community.

Last week’s visit gave us the opportunity to showcase our programs in action and the work that takes place each week at RDA Carine.

From mounted sessions through to groundwork and tailored supports, our programs are designed to meet participants where they are, supporting the development of strength, coordination, confidence, and independence over time.

What’s often not seen is the level of planning, care, and consistency behind every session. Our coaches and volunteers work together to create a safe and supportive environment where participants can build skills at their own pace.

At its core, our work is about building capacity, helping individuals grow in confidence, connection, and ability.
