Based on cutting edge flight simulator technology, Margaret is one of ten in the world but the first in the UK and she enables riders to simulate competing in dressage, cross country and show jumping.

Students, staff and riders from all disciplines - amateur and professional - will ride throughout the evening of the 9 December and into Saturday on this charity challenge.

We invite anyone who wants to support our event to come and join in and take up the reins for 10, 20 or 30 minutes, support our riders by donating via this page or why not set up your own page?

We’ve also got Hercules – a basic simulator suitable for complete novices; so why not turn up, have a go and join us in supporting Spinal Research?

To ride: visit us between 4pm Friday, 9 December and 12.30pm on Saturday, 10 December at the Margaret Giffen Centre for Rider Performance, The Equine Centre, Hartpury College, GL19 3BE

Please donate here or text GIFF88 £10 to 70070
