Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page..

I am proud to be taking part in the Wobbleberries Challenge and am ready for a tough road ahead! I'm a 40+ year old rider like many of the others taking part in this challenge, have been a life-long horse lover and spent as much time as I have been able to riding and being around my horses. I've never taken part in competitions before as I'm quite a nervous Nellie and have trouble with self-confidence required to compete. My little horse, Kelpie, is a young ex-rescue who has never taken part in any competitions or events either, not sure he knows what's in store!! But I know we can do it, we can push ourselves for this great cause, overcome our issues and hopefully raise lots of money.

The Wobbleberries Challenge was launched on 12 August, to encourage “middle aged wimpy riders” to challenge themselves to compete in a British Eventing (BE) 80cm event in the Autumn of 2017.
The purpose of the Challenge is to raise money for Willberry Wonder Pony, the charity set up by 18 year old eventer Hannah Francis before she died of cancer on 1 August 2016.  On entry prospective Wobbleberries have to set a realistic sponsorship target and if all of those accepted on the Challenge raise the money they have pledged it will bring in a whopping £250,000 for www.willberrywonderpony.org  

All funds raised will go towards bone cancer research and granting horsey wishes to those with serious illnesses.  In Hannah’s words ‘Willberrys Wishes’ allows seriously ill people like me, but not just with cancer, to have their dream of some kind of horsey experience granted by Willberry just as he’s granted so many of mine.”
