I have been riding since I can remember and love an adventure so when I heard about this opportunity I was completely taken and so have decided to dedicate the next months to raising enough money to take part and raise a subtantial sum for my chosen charity - War Child.

In every day life I work as a teaching assistant in a special needs school and have just got onto the teacher trainer programme which will begin in September. I ride the cavalry horses several times a week around Hyde Park which is great fun and also enjoy other sports such as cycling, skiing and tennis.
