Ride High

Ride High is a registered charity which aims to help disadvantaged children, by giving them the opportunity to learn to ride and look after horses and ponies.

We're excited to launch our campaign 'Gather and graze for good'. It's the perfect excuse to gather friends (humans and horses) together to enjoy some tasty treats and raise money to help children in the greatest need. For more info and to sign-up: https://t.co/2fccrclHA6.

The Afghan refugee children returned to Ride High today for their 4th session with the ponies & we saw lots of smiles despite the rainy weather ❤
Spending time with our ponies is something positive to look forward to & learning new skills helps build confidence
