Thank you! 💓🐴

What a weekend! Despite the rain we saw so many smiles, happy faces out enjoying the fun ride - we honestly can't thank you all enough for coming and supporting us!

A huge thank you to all our amazing family and friends who helped us make this weekend happen and just generally getting us through the last few years. We genuinely can't do any of this without you 🩷

Photos from Saturday will be uploaded tonight with Sunday's photos following tomorrow 📸

Thank you again to every single person who came, helped, donated and supported us. It means more than you know.

We hope you had as much fun as we did and all while raising money and awareness for a very good course and remembering those special people who we do this for! 🩷

Completely up to you on the day!

We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow. Safe travels and come ready for some fun! 💚

Well... it feels like it's been a lifetime of waiting, doesn't it?! 👀

Some of you have been asking whether our annual Charity Fun Ride would be returning this August...
The honest answer is... we weren't sure.

With pipeline works and road closures affecting parts of the route, we wanted to wait until we knew we could deliver the ride you've all come to expect.

The good news?
We're back! 🐴🎉

Join us this August Bank Holiday weekend (Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August) for another Charity Fun Ride, taking in our Farm Ride and an extended route through Chester Zoo and local bridleways, all whilst raising money for Breast Cancer Now 💖🦒

🎟 Tickets go on sale this Friday at 7pm.

We'd really appreciate you sharing this post. Every booking helps us raise more money for Breast Cancer Now, so every share really does make a difference 💕

Hope to see you there!
