Epsom Riding for the Disabled is a charitable organisation with a vision to provide disabled people with the opportunity to improve their health and wellbeing through the therapeutic power of horses. We are managed and staffed almost exclusively by volunteers, with the Horse and Pony Welfare team being the only exceptions.

Each session is led by an experienced Session Leader, a qualified Group Coach (both volunteers) and a team of other volunteers.
