THE Yorkshire Regional Committee of the British Horse Society are starting a special fund to support the work of its six regional Access Officers.

There will be a series of pleasure rides throughout the region, with the proceeds going directly to the fund.

The first ride will be at Harewood on Sunday March 3 and entries will be limited to a first-come, first-serve basis. A second ride is planned in West Yorkshire on Sunday April 28.

For information, telephone (01977) 612529. In North Yorkshire, conducted rides for small groups in the Skipton area will be offered. For information, telephone Sue Rigby on (01756) 710387.
