Guardians of The White Horse Stone
On March 22, 1987 members of the Odinic Rite conducted "Operation Guardian" during which they cleared away undergrowth and built steps (which remain today) to allow access to the stone. The group called themselves Guardians of the White Horse Stone and looked after the area around the stone but activities were sporadic and unorganised.
Following the first threat to the White Horse Stone by Orange, members of The Odinic Rite decided to formalise these activities and Guardians of the White Horse Stone became an official part of the Odinic Rite. This group meets at the stone every 6 months to clear litter and have removed items ranging from a slot machine, carpet tiles, builders waste and car body parts from the area surrounding the stone.
