Story

I will be doing the Mongol Derby in 2023 in aid of the local charity, Steppe & Hoof, who look after the welfare of the wild Mongolian horses that have to carry my 6 ft 5 inch frame for 1000 Kilometres across the Mongolian Steppe and certainly deserve some kind of compensation for such an unenviable task & the Retraining of Racehorses who do such fantastic work in the area of rehoming racehorses and is a charity particularly close to my heart.

In today’s Mongolia, only approximately 700,000 nomadic herders remain out of a total population of 3 million people. Climate change and urbanization are contributing to the rapid disappearance of one of the world's last traditional horse cultures. Mongolian herders are unique in that they depend solely on their animal herds for their existence. Our goal is to try to save the unique traditions that are part of the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle. We are doing this by giving herders the modern tools and knowledge they need to keep their livestock healthy.

Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) is British Horseracing’s official charity for the welfare of horses that have retired from racing.

The ultimate goal is to maintain a balance between the number of horses leaving racing and the number of enthusiastic and suitable new homes. To this end, RoR funds and runs a well-established programme of competitions and educational events across the country.
