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:

The Huntington's Disease Association
