I have signed up to take part in the Wobbleberry Challenge. The aim is to train for and complete a BE80 class before the end of the 2017 season. This involves a dressage test, a show jumping round and hanging on for dear life whilst the horse jumps solid obstacles around a cross country course!!

This will be a challange for me because I only took up riding a little over a year ago at the age of 35. So far my attempts at dressage have resulted in a 4th place, show jumping wasn't as successful as I forgot how to count somewhere between fences 5 and 7!! I am yet to attempt a cross country other than jumping 'boulders' whilst out hacking... I say boulders, most will say big rocks.

With my back protector already purchased I am determined to complete this challenge for my own development but more importantly for what is a worthwhile charity.
