The group received $16,000 from the trust.
Corda president and head coach Lynda Gray said the grant increase was well appreciated by the group as it meant they could cover the increase in administration costs, horse care and training new volunteers.
Corda offered equine-based riding activities to riders with physical or mental disabilities who come along for therapeutic, educational, sport and recreational sessions.
"We try to tailor what we do especially to the needs of our riders and our riders range in age from primary school right up to adults."
Anecdotal evidence and research has shown that the activities added value to the lives of the riders and their families, which was what Riding for the Disabled was all about, she said.
Each session started with a warm-up to help get riders comfortable in a saddle, then they took part in a variety of activities and games to help achieve different goals, whether it be balance, co-ordination or motor skills.
Sometimes there were no goals, and riders could just get out there and enjoy being outdoors on a horse in a safe recreational setting, she said.
The group often received very positive feedback about the benefits of the programme.
Ms Gray, who had been with the Corda for nine years, said she was grateful to trust as well as business sponsors and the volunteers who helped to deliver the programme that helps improve the lives of the riders.
It was quite fulfilling to see the joy Corda brought to people’s lives, she said.
