Story

I am raising money for The British Horse Society as it’s a charity very close to my heart. I was born into a farming family with horses at its core. From an early age I was dragged around endless point-to-points and jump races watching my mother ride. My favourite course was Wetherby so to ride around there would be a dream come true. This will be a massive test of strength and hard to come over.

The British Horse Society :

We give the greatest care to all our animals and I have been taught to treat horses with the respect and dignity they deserve so their welfare is very important to me. If anything can be done to improve this throughout the equine population I want to assist by raising as much as I can for this worthwhile cause. The British Horse Society promotes and protects everything dear to you and your horse. For over 70 years, the BHS has been a strong equestrian voice. It will continue supporting horses and riders, and you can too.

Road Safety: Too many horses and riders are being killed or injured on UK roads. Over the past year there have been over 1,000 incident reports on our roads involving horses; 180 have been injured and 46 killed - but they know only one in ten incidents are reported. They are dedicated to improving the safety of UK riders.

Riding Out: They're dedicated to enhancing and maintaining the UKs equestrian access network. They defend endangered rights of way for riders and carriage drivers with multi-user routes across the UK being improved, preserved, and reinstated making a huge difference to the community.

Horse Welfare: The BHS responds to over 6,000 welfare cases each year, but there are a thousand more in need of help. They work hard to promote the prevention of neglect, cruelty and harm

Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
