This July, I'm saddling up for the Rideathon Challenge to protect over 78,000km of off-road routes that could be lost forever.

I am aiming to get my young horse, Peter, out of the yard and into the countryside. Starting with long reining sessions and then progressing to riding him out, all very exciting!

Early mornings in the saddle, our adventures with our horses, the freedom of the countryside - if we lose our off-road routes, these days will disappear. We can’t let that happen. I'm ready to ride to save it. Your support will help The British Horse Society to restore damaged paths, reopen blocked routes, and repair gates and fencing, ensuring safe off-road access for equestrians and other route users. With hundreds of horse and rider injuries reported to the BHS each year, it’s vital we keep riders off the roads. Thank you so much to everyone who can support me and my horse to raise £100 for a cause we both live for; let’s raise while we ride for the right to adventure so we can continue to enjoy the countryside together.
