What is an ODE? well it's my worst nightmare, for my non horsey pals, it's a one day event completing 3 phases, Dressage AKA Stressage, Show jumping and Cross country all at the scary height of 80cm.

About me; Recently married to an absolutely nutter of a man, who races round the Isle of Man TT course at 180mph without even having skiddes! Yet I shake at a 60cm jump (which my horse could easily step over)

About my partner in crime; Sidney (10yo) all rounder. This lad is my everything, I recently purchased Sid as my previous horse ruined my confidence. It go so bad that I couldn't even mount without shaking in fear let alone even walk away from the mounting block.

I'm yet to make it round a XC course without falling off/nearly losing an eye/or actually remembering the bloody course. So I'm pulling up my HUGE knickers (married life), saddling up and I'm going to take on the challenge of an ODE in 2018 to raise funds for a fabulous charity.

Please donate as much as you can, every penny counts!

Lots of love

Jess & Sidders xx
