NZ RDA, or New Zealand Riding for the Disabled Association, is a brand dedicated to making a positive impact in local communities throughout New Zealand. They offer specialized therapeutic horse riding programs tailored to individuals facing physical, intellectual, emotional, and social challenges. With a history dating back to 1962, when RDA was introduced to New Zealand, NZ RDA now consists of over 50 affiliated groups spanning the entire country.

These groups are independently financed and managed, and the NZRDA serves as the umbrella organization providing standards, training, certification, and support. The RDA groups are primarily run by dedicated volunteers who work directly with riders, while some groups also have employed staff. NZ RDA's core purpose is to provide interaction with horses for improved health and wellbeing outcomes, enabling disabled individuals to lead meaningful lives and participate fully in their communities.
