Welcome to the Unicorn Centre, a member group of the Riding for the Disabled Association, based in Middlesbrough in the Tees Valley.

We provide horse-based activities such as riding, equine therapy and volunteering for young people and adults with additional needs in our fully accessible state-of-the art-equestrian facility.  With a range of other programmes and activities that help people develop life skills, emotional intelligence and wellbeing, all activities are led by our qualified staff team and supported by our amazing volunteers.

We ask all potential participants to complete an RDA participant application form, so that we can check we can accommodate your needs.

We will contact you to arrange a half-hour assessment session; this is where you will have the opportunity to see our facilities, meet the staff and horses and discuss your requirements and availability for our sessions.

After your assessment we will add you to our waiting list for an available regular riding session. The length of wait can vary considerably depending on your circumstances and the availability of a suitable horse.
