ARC Hippotherapy
Making a
difference in
the lives of
those living with disability.
Who We Are
Working with children and adults with disabilities, we are an SCIO providing specialised physiotherapy through equine movement. Governed and guided by a board of volunteer trustees and supported by a team of committed, passionate volunteers, ARC Hippotherapy is a welcoming and happy place for our participants. Learn more about this incredible program.
What We Do
Hippotherapy involves a specially trained physiotherapist who works with the horse as a "live" treatment tool. The movement of the horse supports the attainment of individualized treatment goals. This therapy can elicit positive changes in children who present with cognitive, motor, and/or psychosocial disabilities. Learn more about what we do.
Get Involved
Hippotherapy requires not only a specially trained, licensed and experienced practicing therapist, but many volunteers to support the sessions. With roles on the equine team, side helping team, and administrative support, we invite you to join our crew of passionate and commited volunteers. Learn about how you can get involved.

Shaping our Brand Together - with the wider RDA Community
As we shape the future of the RDA brand, it’s also vital we hear from as many people in our community as possible - participants, families, carers, volunteers, coaches, trustees - so we can create an inclusive, emotive and purpose - driven brand that helps more people understand who we are and what we do, while reflecting the RDA community.
