The horse senses your moods. People say race horses and gallopers can be highly strung, but you put a young child on a race horse or a galloper and they\u2019re the quietest thing. They sense what the rider needs.\u201d<br \/>\nAhead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteeringaustralia.org\/get-involved\/nvw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">National Volunteer Week<\/a>, which runs from May 18-24, Ms Battye said there was much reward to be had for those who wish to give something back to others.<br \/>\n\u201cVolunteering at RDA teaches young people not to be critical, to be more sympathetic and have empathy with people they feel are not as capable.<br \/>\n\u201cEverybody has a role in life, whether you have a disability or not. Volunteering makes you a better person, it fills a void in your life.<br \/>\n\u201cI think it opens the eyes of volunteers. I always say \u2018There for the grace that God gave them\u2019. We\u2019re lucky, no matter what\u2019s happened to you, you\u2019re still lucky.\u201d<br \/>\nFrom the Mallee to Western Australia working on stations as a jillaroo, Ms Battye\u2019s led an eventful life but after the loss of a child, turned to volunteering.<br \/>\n\u201cI had never worked with children with a disability before. I found in the early days, that most volunteers got involved because they too were experiencing some emotional hardship.<br \/>\n\u201cBeing a volunteer and part of the group, it filled a need; everybody has a story. The Barwon branch of RDA was started in 1976 by Jane Neville on her property Darriwill in Lovely Banks.<br \/>\n\u201cShe would use her own horses, and other peoples. I was part of the CWA (Country Women Association) and everybody knew everybody. I\u2019d ride horses from a neighbouring property over to Jane\u2019s.\u201d<br \/>\nRDA Barwon moved to the Australian Equestrian Academy in Wallington in 1993, where it remained for a few years before relocating to its present location at Koombahla Park.<br \/>\nMs Battye said the sessions were held twice weekly and run entirely by volunteers who never received any form of payment, something that still continues today.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019ve been a Pony Club and RDA coach for 37 years now. When I first started volunteering, if you had a child with a disability, they were often hidden in the back room, or not allowed out.<br \/>\n\u201cOne child that would come riding was never taken anywhere by her parents because she dribbled. We found the riding helped her lift her head; that was 40 years ago.<br \/>\n\u201cChildren with a disability were once treated by some like they were a strange atrocity, but now there\u2019s so much more understanding. People look for the person behind the disability.\u201d<br \/>\nMs Battye said there are eight \u201cwonderful\u201d coaches at RDA Barwon, who have put in years of work and study to be able to give children and adults the opportunity to ride.<br \/>\n\u201cThey don\u2019t get paid and do such a wonderful job. One coach had a child that used to come, and now they\u2019re helping to provide the service to other children.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOR more than four decades, Margaret Battye has watched children and adults come alive as they\u2019re lifted onto a horse\u2019s back.
