First blog, can be about my run up to the sponsored ride I will be doing for the second year running, in March. Received my sponsor form this morning so all is good. Alas, have not actually sat on the horse for over a week now, due to my own flu which has managed to flush any life out of me this week. Really have felt like arse.
Anyway, yes, RAF Halton consists of 50 cross country jumps ranging from 2ft6 - 3ft6 (possibly bigger I'm not sure) over 7 miles set at an RAF airbase in Aylsebury. Basically, it's an excuse to raise money for good causes and lose control of your horse. The main focal point for spectators and riders is actually jumping an aeroplane. Oh yes! Here is a picture of me jumping it last year. Woo! Failed to get over it on the first attempt, but tried again and it was all good... then had no control as I finished the course.
So, plan of action for the next 2 months is to actually RIDE the horse and get some jumping lessons planned.
