OH went hunting (without a saddle!)

[JenHunt]

So, he did it... he stayed on, he jumped over 30 fences (including hedges) and stayed out until about 2pm, plus a 40 minute hack back to the box... By that stage Ron was tired and OH was pretty sore. Just a few pics for you all!! and the video taken of the 4mile gallop from one of the riders that went round with him is still to be sorted out

big hedge!

Well done that man (and I hope you already have children LOL). Fab amount to raise and I would'nt have lasted the trip from the box!

 

[Maesfen]

Well done, great achievement and hope the total keeps rising. Hope he has a lay in tomorrow, he's deserved it - and to be molly coddled for a bit too!

 

[Fiagai]

Oooch...But well done!

 

[Honey08]

He did really well - and what a lovely position over some big hedges! Great photos too.

 

[Dottie]

Massive well done!! (and ouch!!) amazing achievement and what a lovely horse he has!

 

[bumblelion]

Well done! What an achievement! Also, what bollo* that must've taken! (sorry couldn't resist!!)

 

[brighteyes]

Incredible - more so as iirc he hasn't been riding (jumping) very long at all? My hat is well and truly off to him.

 

[CambridgeParamour]

Fantastic!!

 

[Sparkly Snowdrop]

Brilliant effort from both your OH and Ron. Well done to both of them.

 

[Ashleigh_]

Fantastic photos! Well done to your OH

Ron looks amazing, as always!

 

[Rowreach]

Great pics! And I love how he stays in balance without hanging off Ron's mouth - what a partnership!

 

[Spotsrock]

Omg. Very impressed. Well done oh and ron.

 

[aimsymc]

Absolutely amazing! x

 

[meesha]

Well done, amazing photos and what a position !

Ron's face in the last photo.. 'oh me, yes, didn't I do well'

Ron was an absolute LegEnd yesterday folks! Not that it was by any means easy - he pretty much ripped my arms out on the gallop and my forearms had locked up by the end, I could only just hold the reins. But I couldn't have asked for a better day really, and if it was easy it wouldn't have been worth doing as a challenge. There was considerable pain yesterday, more pain today, and the pain will be with me for at least a few days yet I'm sure.

Yes, I am JenHunt's OH, she is my amazing wife and without her and Ron I simply couldn't have done it.

Please keep spreading the word and make the pain etc really worthwhile; go to www.justgiving.com/teams/withoutasaddle, donate if you haven't already (PLEASE!! ), and encourage everyone else you know to do the same.

(and yes, I have been skulking around as a new member on the forums for the last week or two just to see what you've all been saying about the challenge!!)

Wow! Very brave, well done. Good luck with getting the rest of the money. Definitely well deserved sponsorship!

 

[muddygreymare]

Very brave indeed! Well done, raising that much is a great achievement, along with managing to stay on!

 

[Carefreegirl]

Massive respect to him and annoyingly what a good position without a saddle - I'm not that good with a saddle

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Bloomin heck! You wouldn't catch me doing that in a month of Sundays! And without even a neckstrap - jeezo! I do envy your obviously balance and stickability on a horse! Well Done you!
