Come on guy's, like the lady said chance to have some fun and do something for a good cause at the same time.
Just had a message from the girl organising and she thought she was chasing rainbows as she has had little response.
If you cant ride then offer a field, some refreshment for horse and rider or a donation. There are many ways to be part of this event.

Sorry but I support animal charities.

Animals are always dependand on humans whatever treatment they receive, good or bad, but humans can usually get by somehow or other.

i support any who genuinely need help if i can, with some reservations, i wouldn't do some political based events for example.

humans are animals too & when illness strikes they need the help of the other human animals, as i did recently (thank you lynn) but this lady who has been diagnosed with this disease has already been active in a horse based welfare association & now she needs the help of other horse lovers & all they are asking us to do really is what we like to do anyway to help raise funds?

to those who ride & who are lucky enough to have something to ride & the time to ride it, i say why not? if i could i would, & the lady diagnosed probably wishes she still could too.

something like this or an accident could put anyone of us out of the saddle for good & we all know it,
so come on take the time & trouble because if it was you or your friend wouldn't you want someone to do it for you?

i am going to ask her if there is anything else i can do since i can't do the ride bit, i am always up for a charity in any way & i have offered to help both the red cross & a couple of animal charities since i came to normandy.

salee, who is the money being raised for exactly please? I can only find Dystonia, Medical Research Foundation which is in america, I see that caroline is running for The Dystonia Society in Uk, The facebook link says raising money for "International Dystonia Foundation" which I can't find, if you could clarify this I'm sure it may help the cause.

Hi guy's, the link is in the original posting

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

but this is probably clearer.

i myself don't 'do' face book but for those who do try looking at this link- maybe it can tell you more than i could?

the moderators of this forum decided to edit a few bits out of the original post, so i am not sure what i can put back in as far as info goes so i suggest it is best to follow the links & get the info as we used to say 'straight from the horses ( or in this case horse riders) mouth'

I'm sorry to be a bore The Dystonia Society is the charity which caroline is running for as you say Bob, that is the charity in your link. However when one goes onto facebook, it says raising money for "International Dystonia Foundation" which I can't find. As moderator I feel responsible in these cases to get the all the facts for our members

Yep Pen I see exactly what you mean and agree the question needs to be asked and answered.
I will post on the facebook page and let you know what answer I get
Bob

OK the answer has come back that it is for the Dystonia Society UK

she will update the facebook page
Bob

Thanks Bob, forgive my suspicious mind but there are a lot of "Non genuine" humans out there who wouldn't think twice about taking advantage of kind hearts.

Good Luck.

I believe its still in the organization stage, as you can imagine there are some heavy logistics to organise, overnight stabling, back up veh, food etc so I dont expect a date till next year..
