About FRDI
The Federation of Riding for the Disabled International AISBL was founded in 1980 and is registered in Belgium as a non-profit organization.

Our mission is to facilitate the worldwide collaboration between organizations and individuals whose objectives are philantropic, scientific and educational in the field of equine assisted activities.

FRDI depends on membership fees for its day-to-day operation. Additional income is from sponsorship and donations. The fulfilment of the FRDI Mission is dependent on the energy and commitment of our members and the generosity of our sponsors.

FRDI is manged by The International Council, The International Executive Committee and The International Bureau. All voting delegates and Executive Committee members are required to make impartial decisions and judgements in the best interests of all FRDI members.

  • The International Council governs FRDI and is composed of delegates of FRDI's Full Member organisations. 
  • It elects The Executive Committee from the Full Members. The Executive Committee acts on behalf of the International Council between its meetings to give effect to its decisions, recommendations and policies;  and to represent it at international and national events.
  • The International Bureau is FRDI's office. It is located in the United States of America.
