Our running costs each year are around £345,000. We raise almost £200,000 from riding lessons, both disabled and non-disabled, which leaves us with around £150,000 to find from various sources.
Some of this money comes from grant-making trusts: charities which have been set up to support other charities.
These are some of the grant-making trusts that have supported us in 2016:
The Bruce Wake Charitable Trust
The Reuben Foundation
The CLA Charitable Trust
The Pennon Group
A & S Lass Charities Ltd
Burges Salmon Charitable Trust
The Fitton Trust
Fred & Marjorie Sainsbury Charitable Trust
The G F Eyre Charitable Trust
Basil Brown Charitable Trust
The Hartfield Charitable Trust
The Lynn Foundation
The Spielman Charitable Trust
Dora Rebecca Fine Charitable Trust

Misses Barrie Charitable Trust
Souter Charitable Trust
Wessex Water
Douglas Arter Foundation
Leeds Building Society
Skipton Building Society Charitable Foundation
The Haramead Trust

Without these trusts, we simply wouldn’t be able to keep working. So a big virtual round of applause for them!
