Hello friends! 

As many of you know, I applied and was chosen to  compete In the Mongol Derby, the worlds longest, toughest horse race. It is a 1000k race on semi-wild Mongolian ponies accross Outer Mongolia, taking around 10 days, with 13-14 hours  in the saddle each day; many don't finish due to hypothermia, injury, exhaustion, dehydration, food posining, broken limbs, and many other enjoyable afflictions.

In the evenings we will be hosted by Mongolian families in their Gers,  served mare's milk and mutton fat and given a space on the the floor to rest our heads.

39 other riders from all over the world will be joining me in August to attempt the most challenging equine endeavour on the planet. 

I may not make it, but I will give it a really good go.

I'd be so grateful for any support you can offer. All the money raised will go straight to MIND in the battle to raise awareness of mental health.
