Friends Of Napier RDA
Your Friendship Helps!
The cost to deliver an RDA session at Napier RDA varies according to the therapeutic needs of the rider, but is generally around $95 – $125 per session. Our riders who can afford it pay a fee of $25 per session, leaving Napier RDA to underwrite the balance.
As a Friend of Napier RDA, you choose the size and frequency of your gift. Your regular gifts help us to cover the costs not covered by fees. Philanthropic gifts of any size and frequency are greatly appreciated – a little goes a long way!
For example:
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Keep a horse’s toes tidy – approx. cost of a hoofpick
Shout a horse a meal – approx. cost of a bale of hay Treat a pony to a pedicure – approx. cost of a hoof trim Provide a therapy session for a rider – approx. cost of one RDA session Update a horse’s wardrobe – approx. cost of a new cover Tack a horse up for therapy – approx. cost of a Ride-On bareback pad |
