Helping
There are main different ways in which you can help at Conquest. To keep running, the Conquest Centre has to raise a substantial sum each year to cover feed, vets bills, farriery, maintenance, stable staff wages, insurance - the list goes on! No profit is made, every penny is ploughed back into the Centre. There are many different ways you can help us.
- USE THE INDOOR OR OUTDOOR SCHOOL The purpose-built indoor riding school is ideal for all types of equitation, dog training, sports practice, small shows and events etc. We also have an outdoor school. For a small donation you can use either for your own activities. Please contact the Centre if you are interested in hiring them.
- BECOME A VOLUNTEER There are over 50 volunteers who give up their time and energy in keeping Conquest running. Without their support Conquest would not be possible. However, we are always looking for more people to help out, especially during some of the weekday morning sessions when there are less people able to give their time. Click here to find out about what it means to be a volunteer and what support and help Conquest provides.
- DONATIONS TO THE CONQUEST CENTRE Money is always needed to finance the costs of running the centre. Conquest themselves run many events during the year to help raise awareness and monetary support and every penny counts. If you would like to make a one off donation or provide regular monthly donations, this can all be done online, securely and efficiently. Simply follow the link at the bottom of the page.
- SPONSOR A HORSE OR PONY You can now sponsor one of our horses. Please contact Annabelle Knight at the centre for details.
- RIDER SPONSORSHIP Some of the riders attending the Conquest Centre are able to achieve competition standard and compete at high levels. One or two are now in the exciting position of looking for Sponsorship to enable them to progress. If you are interested in sponsoring a rider, please contact the Conquest Centre.
- FINDING HORSES The Conquest Centre sometimes looks for horses. The horses used for disabled riders have to have a certain temperament and also a certain type of build and strength - although of course, they can vary enormously in size. The Centre Manager is happy to discuss the requirements for these very special horses if you are interested in donating a horse.
