The club was founded on 10th March 2003 and is a non-profit making organization which promotes the interests of horse owners and riders in the Pole Moor area. PMRC is a non-affiliated club.
Since the club began we have held a variety of events ranging from our very successful first annual show (held at Carr House Farm, Scammonden), children's events, social rides, lectures, treasure hunts and social events such as a fun swim and a trip to the dogs.

Pole Moor Riding Club aims to:

• Bring together local horsey people, enabling us to help each other with any problems and provide a friendly environment, as well as giving us more power in the on-going battle for bridleway access.
• Provide basic training in horse care and road safety.
• Encourage all horsey people to get the best from their horses by holding a wide variety of events.

The club holds a meeting at 8pm on the first Tuesday of each month at The Rose & Crown, Cop Hill, Slaithwaite. Everyone is welcome to attend. You can also contact us by email.

The club also supports various charities through fundraising events. The club is currently supporting:

Kirkwood Hospice
The Hospice provides specialist care, free of charge, to adults in Kirklees with advanced, progressive illnesses at any time from diagnosis to the end of life, respecting their individual needs and wishes. Care and support is also provided for their family members, friends and carers, both during the illness and after death.
They rely on the financial support of the public. For details of how you could help please visit their website.
The Mare and Foal Sanctuary
The Mare And Foal Sanctuary was founded in 1988 by Rosemary Kind, who has rescued and looked after horses and ponies all her life. In 1992 the Sanctuary became a Registered Charity, and has since rescued and found loving homes for a large number of horses and ponies.
The Sanctuary's aims are not just to rescue neglected, unwanted or abused horses but when possible to rehabilitate, retrain and eventually rehome them into loving, knowledgeable environments. They also try to educate people on all aspects of horse welfare.
They own over a three hundred horses and ponies of which most are cared for at loan-homes away from the sanctuary (although they do regular homechecks to ensure their well-being).
They also work proactively with other equestrian groups and charities as well as the local and national media in promoting awareness of equine issues such as the Dartmoor Pony problem.
