Margaret Haes Riding Centre is celebrating 60 years in 2026, and whilst there have been times we thought reaching this milestone would not be possible, here we are and the Centre is expanding!

We need funds to support the horses’ welfare and our core costs, and for essential site improvements to maintain the Centre as a safe and welcoming space for all our riders, volunteers, staff and families.

Challenge yourself to abseil down the iconic Peel Tower on Holcombe Hill, Bury, on Saturday 27 June, and raise funds for Margaret Haes Riding Centre in its 60th year. Please note minimum age is 16 years to abseil.  

The views from the top are simply stunning, and you’ll be in safe hands with friends at Outdoor Activities Service and Alternate Adventure supporting the event.

At Margaret Haes Riding Centre, we bring the ‘Spirit of the Horse’ to some of the most vulnerable people, through our programmes of riding, equine care and social connection.

Horses touch the lives of people, helping them to heal and to embrace the new and the possible. As a charity, our purpose is to empower children and adults with learning disabilities, physical and mental health disabilities, and emotional and social challenges to lead active, healthy and fulfilling lives through equestrian activities. We aim to have a positive impact on the health and well-being for all our riders and volunteers.
