The start of this challenge I was terrified of jumping due to a freak accident over 20 yrs ago where my horse broke his leg. Now, due to some wonderful trainers and an amazingly generous and genuine horse I find myself enjoying jumping. Something I alway wanted to do again but never thought I would. I am so pleased with how far I have come. I'm almost looking forward to Munstead in September!

I was too scared to canter in an open field until April, but after numerous clinics and a RC camp, I discovered my 'almost brave' pants!!
I am absolutely terrified, but Hannah was an inspiration and as I lost both my parents to cancer, my mum very recently, I needed to do something positive and healing. My cross country top was a gift from my mum, so I will be wearing it in her honour and I have already raised loads of money thanks to my wonderful friends and family.

This challenge has been amazing for me, the only thing I am sad about is that some beautiful young person had to lose their life to get me to hitch up my brave pants and enjoy my horse and have a go at things I'd only dreamt of! Neither me or my horse have ever competed in anything until this year and I'm amazed what some determination and motivation can do! It has not been easy but I am happy to have been able to raise some money and hope I can do the ride justice for Hannah's family. I am quite quite terrified but now also hoping I don't get balloted out! The fat bird and the cart horse have come a long way!

More than 8 months of schooling and training hard, i couldn't have imagined how how much this challenge would reward us both at the start but it has and we are feeling as ready as we can be; what an amazing journey it's been so far which I feel very proud to be a part of and cannot wait to do it for Hannah, our sponsors and myself! #kickingcancersbutt

I am extremely nervous for my first ever BE event but also extremely motivated and so want to complete it. I am blown away by how far everyone has come. This challenge has changed lives and pushed people, including me, further than we ever believed. I am achieving things I never ever thought I would and I am so looking forward to horseheath. Fingers crossed we get in. #rideforhannah #inspiredbyhannah

Amazed at how much confidence I have gained since starting training for this challenge. After being unable to walk for a year after a riding accident my confidence was poor. Hannah inspired me to face my fears and get back into it. I'm even starting to enjoy jumping again, well certainly the smaller heights anyway!
I'm actually sort of looking forward to the 29 th July in a excited/ nervous sort of way!

It's been an incredible journey of highs and lows. I've learned so much in a year and still can't quite believe that I am about to compete in a BE80 competition when a year ago all I had ever done is hack! Really looking forward to it now, despite being incredibly nervous!

BE Northallerton- Entry xxx Section x riding Doxford Chrissy
July 14, 2017
Issy and I successfully completed our second practise run round a BE80 course at Northallerton on Sunday! We did one of our best dressage tests to date, with a score of 32 putting us into 3rd place! Followed by 2 great runs SJ and XC. Unfortunately we were 28 seconds over the optimum time XC which dropped us to 16th place. However last time we were 2mins+ over the time which proves our hard work is starting to pay off and we are progressing! So proud of how far we've come already. Dare I say it, 80cm is starting to look small...! Bring on the BE!!!

This has been an incredible challenge! And it really was a CHALLENGE for the first few months of my training; forcing myself to learn to jump when I was terrified of it and felt sick every time I thought about a jump lesson. But now I am loving it, and my horse is glad he's no longer consigned to just dressage competitions! I am so glad the Wobbleberrys came up with this concept, as it has inspired me to do something I would not otherwise have been brave enough to try.

July 01, 2017
Hi all,
So me and my little coblet JitterBug June, has entered the BE80t at Offchurch Bury 2/7/17.
Its is safe to say the nerves are starting to kick in more as it's only 4 weeks away. But we as a team have come a very long way, as this time last year we could only manage walk and trot. Cantering and jumping was out for the question as JuneBug was too weak and couldn't put her legs in the correct places.
But thanks to this challenge we are now jumping heights I only could of only dreamed of and also galloping in open spaces.

Having not jumped for 15 years until I took up the challenge, I have now completed hunter trials and showjumping competitively. Still incredibly nervous about doing the event but feeling more confident that we are capable .

Thought I would have to cancel my challenge as my young horse who I was going to do it on injured his foot and has been on box rest for almost 10 months now. Decided to try it with my 19yr old boy. Both of us had lost our confidence jumping a couple of years back after a bad fall so I felt sick jumping him again. Well slowly, bit by bit we've been getting our confidence back and so we are just going to go for it!

I'm super excited & super nervous as the days tick away and my first EVER BE creeps closer. My belly does cartwheels every time I admit to people I've entered they and they kindly & and enthusiasticly say "we'll come and watch!" One little Phil on my shoulder says, "excellent, you need all the support you can get!", 👼🏼 the other says "that's another person who is going to see you make a right t*t of yourself!" 👹
I'm almost at my fundraising target, but feeling a bit greedy and really want to smash it!!

June 03, 2017
This will be my first event for 22 yrs and will be Dougie's first BE event. After a riding fall I was told by my surgeon 4 yrs ago that I would never ride again. So using Hannah as an inspiration I've got back riding & joined in on the challenge. I have had good preparation so far, had a great BE taster clinic with John Evans in January to start it all off. I need to focus on fitness & XC now.
COMPLETED!
