What is Ride Yorkshire?
Ride Yorkshire is a social enterprise. We aim to get more people riding in Yorkshire both experienced and novice riders. We're building directories of horse & rider
accommodation, riding & trekking centres and riding holidays (see our website) and we're helping disadvantaged kids and other people get out and have fun with
horses too. With the proceeds of our funride in April we helped 10 children from south Leeds have 5 lessons in horsecare and riding, and this time we'll fund youngsters from Bransholme, in Hull, to have a similar experience.
