The National Equine Welfare Council (NEWC) is delighted to welcome The Diamond Centre for Disabled Riders as a new member organisation.

Based in Surrey, The Diamond Centre is a long-established Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) centre providing high-quality equine-assisted activities for children and adults with disabilities. Through structured sessions tailored to individual needs, the Centre supports participants in developing balance, coordination, confidence and communication skills while enjoying meaningful interaction with horses.

The Centre’s commitment to equine welfare includes robust rider weight policies, careful management practices designed to maximise turnout and forage access, and continued investment in facilities, including winter turnout paddocks, upgraded stable environments and indoor barn improvements.

The Diamond Centre also demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting ethical and responsible equestrian activity, recognising the importance of maintaining high welfare standards and supporting the future social licence of the equestrian sector.

NEWC looks forward to working alongside The Diamond Centre and supporting their continued work to promote excellent equine welfare standards while delivering valuable opportunities for riders and participants.
