Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My aim is to compete at BE80 next year, this will be a steep almost vertical learning curve as i have never competed before.

So Plan A is BE80cm (dressage, showjumping and cross country) in 2017 but if for whatever reason that is unachievable there is always Plan B to compete at unaffiliated level 70cm.

I had the pleasure to meet Hannah at Offchurch this year and despite
pain she was in she was still smiling a day i will always remember.

What is a Wobbleberry?

A shy, elusive creature, the wobbleberry's natural habitat is spectating
at BE events, and supporting other riders - but all this is about to
change!!!

Key Characteristics:

- not currently fit enough to get round a cross country course

- not currently brave enough to get round a cross country course

- old enough to know better, and know that this will hurt

- dedicated - to raising money, to training, and conquering the fear

- supportive of each other - aiming to be weeble-esque, "we wobble, but we don't fall down".

After reading the above I fit all the criteria and thought what’s stopping me (apart from not owning a horse, being a wimp about jumping anything, knowing I don’t bounce when I fall off anymore!) this is all about the challenge to do something out of your comfort zone (and yes it helps to be a bit crazy) and raise money for charity.
