Your gathering can be whatever you want it to be – coffee and cake, treats in the tack room, high tea with the horses, prosecco and picnic with the ponies or even a barbeque outside the barn. You may decide to get creative and throw in a quiz or game or keep it nice and simple – it’s entirely up to you. Whatever you do you’ll be bringing people together to enjoy each other’s company and to graze on some delicious treats in return for donations for a very worthy cause.

Just like you, Ride High has a passion for horses. They enable us to connect with vulnerable children in a way other more traditional interventions such as counselling fail. Time spent riding and caring for our horses provides them with a challenge and something positive to focus on. As they learn new skills their confidence and self-esteem increase, they learn to manage negative feelings and anxieties, to feel calmer, more resilient and happier.

The money you raise at your Gather and graze for good event will help to fund sessions with the horses for 20 children in need from our waiting list for a whole term – such an opportunity will make a huge difference to their lives.

To help us spread awareness of our important work and as an extra incentive to take part in our campaign, there is prize for the ‘host who raises the most’ and for the participant who shares the most creative photo of their gathering on social media (tagging @ridehighmk #gatherandgrazeforgood). Prizes have been kindly provided by our sponsors RB Equestrian and Kate Everall Photography.
