Riding for the Disabled first commenced in Western Australia in 1972 at the Hunt Club in Morley. In 1977 the association become incorporated as Riding for the Disabled Association of Western Australia Inc. with the objective of providing horse riding to people with disabilities and special needs. In 2018 the Membership Council of Riding for the Disabled Association of Western Australia Inc. made the decision to disaffiliate with Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia (RDAA), this meant that a new logo was required with permission to utilise the trademarked RDAWA logo a benefit of RDAA affiliation. With this in mind Riding for the Disabled Association of Western Australia Inc. made the decision to rebrand and trade under a new trading name 'HorsePower Australia'. Five of the then member centres made the decision not to rebrand and to directly affiliate with Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia as independent centres in Western Australia, as such they disaffiliated with the state association Riding for the Disabled Association of Western Australia Inc. which now trades as HorsePower Australia. As this page was established by Riding for the Disabled Association of Western Australia Inc. It continues to be managed by that entity which now trades as HorsePower Australia. If you are looking to connect and stay up to date with an independent RDA centre operating in Western Australia please search for the individual centre or Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia as this page is no longer active.
