Zwartendijkruiters

Stichting Aangepast Paardrijden Kampen, known through the Zwartendijkruiters riding school, is a foundation dedicated to making horseback riding accessible to people with a range of needs. Its lessons welcome riders with autism, ADHD, intellectual or physical disabilities, and people experiencing fear of failure. The organization also offers regular riding lessons for adults and playful, introductory riding for children aged four to seven.

Riders are grouped as much as possible by age and ability, helping create suitable lessons for a diverse community. New riders can arrange a trial lesson and meet the horses, although the foundation currently uses a waiting list. Beyond riding instruction, the Zwartendijkruiters organizes outdoor rides and invites people to get involved through volunteering or student placements.

The foundation also shares news, newsletters and annual reports, and welcomes donations and other forms of support, including shopping through Sponsorkliks and clothing collection. Its work is powered by riders, horses and volunteers, with the goal of giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy horseback riding
