Object:
The organisation's purpose is to promote the objects of the Riding for the Disabled Association incorporating Carriage Driving (Company No 5010395) a charity registered under Charity Number SC039473 ("the Company") by providing people with additional support needs the opportunity to ride and/or to carriage drive to benefit their health and wellbeing in the Fife and Clackmanannshire area.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We provide both therapeutic riding and other equine related sessions to people of all ages and abilities with additional support needs. Physically riding can affect balance, posture, coordination and muscle control. The benefits of therapeutic riding are well documented, but increasingly the addition of equine facilitated ground sessions have enabled a closer connection with the horse on the ground. There is increasing evidence of the huge impact that working with the horse solely on the ground can have. These are quiet sessions encouraging the participant to create their own relationship with the horse. These sessions may also include walking with the horse, taking control of his movements negotiating a circuit or it may just be stroking, grooming or massaging him as he stands. It is very empowering to feel at one with such a big animal, but also to realise that like us, they need trust; love and routine. This is an option prior to riding or as a standalone alternative.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
