Cranleigh RDA Group
Offers therapeutic riding to people with special needs to benefit their health and well being, to achieve their goals and to have fun!
The experience gained through riding and contact with our horses and our volunteers helps them develop self esteem, confidence and independence.
As a voluntary organisation (registered charity no. 1125242) our group receives no state or lottery funding at all. We rely entirely on donations and our fundraising.

ANNUAL SPONSORED FUN RIDE
GOOD FRIDAY 3RD APRIL 2026
REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN
Full event and entry details are on our Sponsored Fun Ride page here.
Come and enjoy a ride in the beautiful and serene surroundings of the Surrey Hills.
11-mile and 3-mile route options.
At our annual Christmas get-together for volunteers and supporters, we were delighted to accept a cheque for £2,000 from Cranleigh Masons, which they raised for us at different events they held during 2025.
To ensure our riders have the best possible riding experience every time they come to Casi’s Farm, our stables team is continuosuly training and developing our ponies.
As just one example, this video shows then working on some hoist training with Rupert. It’s no easy task, but our team’s dedication never falters.
Christmas at Casi’s Farm, December 2023
Sunday 3rd December 2023 was International Day for Persons with Disabilities.
We saw that as a great opportunity to bring together everyone who helps make Cranleigh RDA such a wonderful community: riders, coaches, volunteers, stables team, directors, donors, supporters, neighbours – and last but not least, our 10 wonderful four-legged friends! Of course, we don’t just think of people with disabilities on this one day of the year. We care about our riders all year round, giving them the riding opportunities which bring them both enjoyment and fulfilment.
Volunteers
Cranleigh RDA has over 100 volunteers who assist with riding or running the charity.
You don’t have to have any equine experience to help us as full training is given to all our volunteers.
