New Plymouth Riding for the Disabled

Primo provides free wifi and phone services to our Group. We provide therapeutic and recreational horse riding sessions for people with disabilities.

We operate 4 days of each week of the school terms and in 2019 we provided rides for 107 North Taranaki young people. Our arena is at Barrett Domain where we have a long term lease from the NPDC. We have 3 qualified coaches and over 50 volunteers who carry out a wide and diverse range of roles. The age of our riders range from younger than 5 to adult riders. We have 11 horses all specially trained and with temperaments suitable to the service.

As we receive no government funding and rely on grants, donations, fundraising events and modest session fees, sponsorship by Primo Wireless is a huge help in meeting our annual operating expenses.
