● Vacancy: Looking for enthusiastic and committed staff to work with children with disabilities . Interested candidate please fill in the form and email to acspenang@gmail.com.
Together with the cooperation of Penang Polo Club, ACS has been instrumental in initiating the Horse Back Riding for the Disabled Programme here in Penang. Horse back riding is recognised as one of the more progressive forms of therapy. It is the use of the horse and equine-oriented activities to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals, including cognitive, physical, emotional, social, educational and behavioural goals.
The programme is run on weekly basis in the evenings of Tuesday and Thursdays and is open to all children and young adults with special needs. However, riders have to sign up for a series of 8 sessions per batch.
Regrettably, the RDA Penang programme has been permanently shut down as of early 2021. This is due to the pandemic which has also led to the closure of the Penang Equestrian Centre.
