Dearest, most wonderful HHO'ers.... I know how much you all like a good cause, and riding, and silly stunts.... well here's a good one for you!!!
I said at the end of last year that I would post the justgiving link once OH had it all set up... so here it is! https://www.justgiving.com/teams/withoutasaddle
for those who aren't in the know I'll try to explain this succinctly. My OH has been riding for about 5 years (though not truly regularly), and has been hacking out and schooling bareback on my Ron this last year. He made a flippant comment (after jumping 1m30 without a saddle) that hunting bareback wouldn't be too tough. Since then he's decided that he will do a day bareback to raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and for Help for Heroes.
Now, my Ron is not the easiest horse in the world to hunt. He gets carried away with his own enthusiasm when he sees a jump, and likes launching himself at things! So to choose our final day of the season is brave! it involves a gallop across country, with around 20 fences to jump. Followed by a meet, followed by a good day's hunting in country well known for its timber.
I hope that you will have a look at the link, and donate generously to one or both of the causes.
thank you for your support, in advance!
