Me and my trusty steed Shylo will be undertaking a two day 70 mile endurance ride across the Leicestershire/Derbyshire countryside at the end of August.
I will be accompanied by riding novice Priory Care Homes Regional Manager Elizabeth McConnell. We will take it in turns to ride Shylo, a nine-year-old Welsh Cob, for an hour at a time while the other walks alongside.
The aim is to raise at least £5,000 for Action on Elder Abuse, a charity that aims to prevent the abuse of older people by raising awareness; encouraging education; promoting research; and collecting and circulating information.
Protecting vulnerable members of society is crucial and the charity Action on Elder Abuse does sterling work to ensure that older people are treated with dignity, respect and kindness
I thought an endurance ride was an unusual way to raise money for what is a worthy cause.
Dr Dan Nightingale, the Priory Group’s Head of Dementia Services
