She currently serves as Head Coach at RDA Carine and has led inclusive training initiatives for both RDA Australia and Pony Club Australia, supporting coaches to deliver safe, effective, and participant‑centred programs.

In 2007, Sarah relocated to Singapore, where she re‑joined her RDA coaching pathway. Two years later, she moved to Perth, continuing to build her coaching, assessment, and advisory experience within the Australian RDA system.
Sarah is passionate about working alongside her riders and clients to help them recognise their potential, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful outcomes through equestrian participation.

Session Details
Every rider brings their own story, strengths, and challenges to the arena. This session explores how coaches can confidently and safely support riders with physical and neurological disabilities by understanding the medical and physical considerations that underpin effective adaptive coaching.
Drawing on extensive experience as an RDA coach and national assessor, Sarah Lamb will focus on recognising individual needs, adapting programs and sessions, and making informed decisions that support rider wellbeing, function, and participation. The session will explore how medical and physical factors influence movement, balance, fatigue, and communication, and how thoughtful, well‑informed adaptations can significantly improve rider outcomes.
This session is ideal for coaches looking to deepen their understanding of the physical and neurological factors that influence participation and to build confidence when working with riders who have complex or individual support needs.
