It's TCS London Marathon Fundraising Week Monday 3rd to Sunday 9 February 2025! Lindsey is training unbelievably hard and in all weathers !! More on Linsdey's training this week.

We need the funds towards building two new wooden stables in the small paddock at the rear of the site to improve the welfare of our horses 🧡 and improve the drainage in the paddock which we use for ponies and horses recovering from lameness or unwell and those where we need to manage their weight especially in Summer! Please support .

Communities are stronger together! 🧡

Our access road, Moor Road, was in an awful state especially after the snow and ice this January! Worse ever seen!

It was affecting the safety of our disabled riders and SEN schools accessing the Riding Centre, which is a Charity.

We were concerned about maintaining access for emergency services and the uneven and challenging surface was impacting on the welfare of the horse and ponies.

Marshalls donated many tonnes of natural materials and National Trust volunteers spread and installed on the upper part of Moor Road. Bury Council supplied many tonnes of materials to improved the surface and protect the lower part of Moor Road, which is a bridleway and historic route.

A heartfelt thank you from all at Margaret Haes Riding Centre

If anyone can spare a few moments to please share our page to help raise funds to help keep our horses well fed and warm over the remainder of the winter it would be very appreciated.
