Gympie and District RDA (Riding for Disabled) is a renowned horse riding school located in the scenic town of Long Flat, Australia. Established in 1989, this beloved institution was born out of the collective vision of a passionate group of Gympie locals led by Ann Daly and Percy Bishop.

At Gympie and District RDA, they offer a range of programmes throughout the school terms. On Wednesday mornings from 7:30 am to 11:30 am, riders can partake in horse riding sessions, immersing themselves in the therapeutic benefits that interaction with these magnificent creatures can bring. Thursday mornings from 8:30 am are dedicated to carriage driving, allowing participants to enjoy a unique and exciting equestrian activity.
