We are on the search for any kids riding boots you might have lying around that you would like to donate to us.

They do need to still have stitching that holds them together, no talking boots please. All sizes considered and greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately someone jumped our fence today and put a huge pile of apples in one of the horses paddocks.

That amount of apples could make a horse very very sick.

We ask that if you would ever like to donate apples to our horses please leave them at our gate and let us decide if it's safe for our horses to eat.

We also ask that you do not enter our property without permission.

🐴 Volunteers Wanted. Join the EORDA Family 🐴

We’re looking for kind, reliable people to join us at East Otago Riding for the Disabled Association on Matanaka Drive, Waikouaiti.

There are plenty of ways to get involved, with flexible roles to suit most schedules:
✨ Evening help with hay and rugs after work
✨ Paddock checking
✨ Leading our horses during sessions
✨ Committee and admin support
✨ Fundraising help

Our riding sessions run Mondays and Fridays, 9am to 1pm. Even just an hour here or there makes a real difference.

No matter how much time you can offer, we will find a place for you that fits around your life. No pressure, no experience needed. Just come along and give it a go.

All training is provided and you’ll be supported the whole way. We’re a friendly, down-to-earth group and you’ll quickly feel part of the team.

💛 Get out in the fresh air and build fitness
💛 Give back to your local community
💛 Meet great people and make new friends
💛 Spend time with our gorgeous horses

And along the way, you’ll be helping local riders build confidence, independence, and joy through horses.

Ages 14+ welcome. We will also need consent for a police check.

Come be part of the EORDA family 🐎✨

Send us a message. We would love to have you.
