Welcome to the Nantwich & District RDA Group
Nantwich and District RDA Group serves Nantwich and the surrounding area in Cheshire. Our new purpose built stables are at Reaseheath Equestrian Centre on the outskirts of Nantwich.
We provide a full array of riding experiences and social activities. We welcome riders and volunteers of all ages and experience with full training given by our dedicated team.
At Nantwich & District RDA, we don’t just serve individuals—we uplift entire families and communities. For many of our riders, therapeutic riding is more than just an activity; it’s a lifeline. It’s a place where they can feel truly seen and supported.
​
Parents tell us how their children light up with joy after each session—how they’ve found confidence they never had before. But this isn’t just about riding—it’s about creating a space where everyone belongs. Our facilities are used for community events that promote inclusivity and connection. We host workshops, educational programs, and volunteer training sessions that bring people together from all walks of life.
Riding sessions on the ponies take place on Monday and Thursday afternoons in the spacious indoor arena from 4pm. Occasionally these sessions may be run on a different day if circumstances change, so please contact admin@nantwichrda.org to find out more.
​
One to one riding sessions on the mechanical horse 'Philly' take place at Reaseheath College Equestrian Centre usually on Tuesday afternoons from 3pm, by invitation only.
​
We have a waiting list for potential new riders and hope to introduce new sessions this year.
All our sessions are a great opportunity for volunteers and participants to get together for riding and social interaction. ​
We welcome visitors to come along for a chat and a cup of tea - you will enjoy watching the fun we have!
We wouldn't exist if it were not for our wonderful band of trusty volunteers, who attend regularly with enthusiasm and joy. We have been blessed and fortunate to have a new dedicated RDA stable block built with thanks to a local businessman Phil Keogh. His enthusiasm and innovative ideas, as well as his team's hard work and support, have enabled us to have a state of the art, self-contained RDA yard so our horses can be together in complete comfort and luxury.

Philly is our mechanical horse, with the ability to mimic precisely most of the movements of a real horse. Philly is able to offer beneficial muscle strengthening and core building exercise to riders who may need a little more encourage-ment before mounting a real horse, or those who need extra tuition.

We are constantly overwhelmed by the help, generosity and support received from local organisations and individuals.
