Ok so for those of you who haven’t seen any footage of me getting ready for my next charity event……here is what’s happening on Sunday.
On Sunday, Millie (the better half of this relationship) and I will be competing in a One Day Event. If you are unfamiliar with this…..that is a 3 part event on a horse……Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country…….
The charity I am raising funds for is the Willberry Wonderpony, which was started by Hannah Francis, who sadly passed away at 18 years of age with bone cancer. Since then many equestrian athletes and enthusiasts have got behind her charity which helps to support families of those seriously ill with equestrian related wishes. Part of the legacy Hannah has created involves you getting your own pony and naming it…..so please meet Luckyberry!
For me, I always look back on the opportunities I had when I was a child and feel very privileged, sure as a family we had difficult times, but nothing when you consider those affected by the illness described above. This is one of the reasons I always support Children’s Hospice South West when I get a chance as well.
So on Sunday……at 3pm I will be doing my dressage, 4:30pm my show jumping and 5pm my cross country. I will ask Jo to do some video updates for you all to see how I am getting on. This will be taking place on the very rural Exmoor National Park, so 3G/4G and fog permitting this will happen ‘LIVE’.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have helped me thus far no matter whether its been in coaching me, providing equipment or sponsoring via my justgiving page, all very much appreciated.

Fortunately Luckyberry doesn’t need much to eat but he needs his sleep so that’s it from us for now……
Speak soon,
