Margeret - known as Peggy - founded her riding centre in 1967 and and  became affiliated to the Riding for the Disabled Association. Some 10 years  later she and her team joined NWRAH, the North West Riding Association for the Handicapped. In 2004, in recognition of her hard work and dedication,  the centre was re-named the Margaret Haes Riding Centre.   The charity is an independent organisation that relies on donations for the  upkeep of the stables. It has embarked on a comprehensive refurbishment  project to improve the facilities.  Volunteers continue to provide riding opportunities for the disabled from as  far afield as Rochdale, Wigan and Bolton. The charity has helped hundreds  of physically and mentally disabled children and adults enjoy the experience  of riding over the West Pennine Moors. f you have a special need, or are a parent or carer of someone you think may benefit from our services, please contact us  for a chat or to make an appointment to come along and look around our facilities. We always need volunteer helpers, so  if you can spare an hour or two to help the disabled riders, we would be delighted to hear from you.  01706 821337 www.margarethaes@wordpress.com
