Follifoot Park Disabled Riders Group We are an independent charity providing riding and carriage driving for disabled children and adults

The Group was originally formed in 1986 and became an independent charity in 1994. Julie Pedley, the owner of Follifoot Park Riding Centre, and our founding Chairman, Rosie Towers, wanted to offer disabled riders the unique benefits of horse riding so Rosie decided to recruit the necessary helpers. Thanks to her dedicated efforts we now have 150 volunteers who help to provide 17 regular Rides each week in groups of up to seven disabled people. During the past 26 years, hundreds of riders, young and adult, have enjoyed this opportunity. Our continuing aim is to provide more opportunities for disabled people to enjoy the unique benefits and pleasures of riding and carriage driving with us.

Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate our 40 year anniversary today! The sun was shining, cake was in abundance and with demonstration rides, carriage rides and games a good time was had by all. Thanks to all our regular volunteers who helped with this event and to Harrogate & District Community Action for organising a few extras! Thanks also to Follifoot Park Riding Centre for all their support and to The Harrogate Town Mayor, Viv Poskitt for being with us and cutting the cake! Also thanks to McBeath Property consultants for the extra parking. Here's to the next 40 years!

The weather is set fair so hope to see you there!
