Welcome to Valley RDA!

Valley RDA is located in the picturesque Tallebudgera Valley, at the southern end of the Gold Coast. Surrounded by lush hinterland and well-known equine properties, our centre shares its home with the Tallebudgera Pony Club—where our story began more than 19 years ago.


Our facilities continue to grow and include a full-size outdoor sand arena, an undercover arena, a smaller grassed games area, a round yard and beautiful bush and trail riding paddocks that border the Tallebudgera River. Every ride is guided by qualified coaches and supported by dedicated volunteers who ensure each session is safe, encouraging and inclusive for riders of all abilities. Our centre operates entirely on volunteer power, with placements from Bond and Griffith Universities, local high schools, Rotary Clubs and the wider community.


On this page, you’ll find our current timetable, information on how to get started, how to get involved as a volunteer and who to contact for more details.

Volunteering, Sponsorships & Donations

Valley RDA relies 100% on the generosity of our community through fundraising, sponsorships, donations and volunteers. Our volunteers include fully qualified coaches—one Level 2 coach and National Assessor, two Level 1 coaches, four OTC (Training) coaches, one Hippotherapist and three Hippotherapy horse handlers—each playing a vital role in delivering our programs.


We regularly hold fundraising events to support horse care, equipment replacement and maintenance of our arenas and riding gear. Every contribution, large or small, helps keep our programs accessible for people living with disability in our community. If you’d like to help, donate or get involved, please contact the centre.

Valley RDA Sponsors

We extend heartfelt thanks to our local sponsors and community partners whose support allows Valley RDA to continue providing safe, inclusive and life-changing programs for riders and their families.
