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 has been kindly sponsored by The Jack o'Mitre for the 2009 season.

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

Andrea's Gift
Brain tumours kill more people under the age of 40 than any other form of cancer. They have overtaken leukaemia as the most common malignancy and cause of death in children. However a lack of funding and research into the treatment of malignant brain tumours means survival rates are no better than they were 40 years ago. Andrea’s Gift is a Yorkshire based charity which raises funds to support specific and dedicated research projects into the treatment and cure of child and adult brain tumours and to ensure that all research is written up for publication and communicated with other charities and research organisations. They provide grants or financial assistance to brain tumour patients and their carers and they provide equipment and apparatus to hospital wards, patients or research centres.

Riding for the Disabled
Riding for the disabled caters for people of all ages who are physically challenged with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, paraplegia, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, brain injury, visual and hearing impairment, intellectual disabilities or learning disabilities. Riding helps participants achieve specific goals, whether it is therapeutic, educational or sporting. Riding develops, improves and promotes balance and co-ordination, posture and muscle tone, concentration, self discipline and self–esteem, perception and spatial awareness, communication and social skills, independence and encourages decision making.
