In Autumn 2017, I will be taking part in the Wobbleberries Challenge - a BE80 event to raise funds for Hannah's Wilberry Wonderpony and continue the fantastic fundraising legacy of Hannah Francis after her tragically young death because of cancer. The challenge is for self-proclaimed "middle-aged, wimpy riders" with the following key characteristics:

- not currently fit enough to get round a cross country course
- not currently brave enough to get round a cross country course
- old enough to know better, and know that this will hurt!
- dedicated - to raising money, to training, and conquering the fear
- supportive of each other - aiming to be weeble-esque, "we wobble, but we don't fall down

Here's hoping the above is correct as my last attempt at cross country (many years ago) ended with me getting a lift off the course in a helicopter! Hence my decision to become a pure dressage Diva.... However... If you read Hannah's story and what this young woman put herself through to achieve her last ride.. Well this isn't much to ask of me..

I am terrified.. Cross Country is dangerous.. I am horribly unfit, a bit podgie and yes should know better.. But.. The training now begins.. Healthy food, lots of fitness work, and I managed to jump 7cm high breakers the other day.. Only 73cm to go 😂 

Thankyou in advance for your donations and support 😍
