Nice one Steve. I've ridden about 10km on my horse so I've a way to go yet. Did you make an entire TV show about your journey?

[steveo7502]

Hi Matty, yeah we are making a documentary on the ride that should be out shortly. It was only held up for lack of cash :) Where do you ride around?

Love your spirit Steve..is your mare a Kathiawari?

[steveo7502]

Thanks.  Yes Rosie was indeed Kathiawari and a great one at that.

Did you finish you trip? It sounds really quite interesting

[steveo7502]

Thanks for your comment. It's always nice to hear from people.

A lot of effort has gone into this journey from the start. Perhaps you could have a look at the ride's website to learn more about it when you have time.

The NGO to benefit from this journey is called ActionAid International, a collaboration of incountry NGOs who work towards giving those without the education and thus life opportunities they deserve.

I ride in Somerset. Occasionally do a bit of cross-country but mainly just leisurely hacks often involving pubs (adventurer that I am).

Thanks dominika.  It's been a blast so far. Still got a way to go yet though!
