The Long Horse Ride – Beijing to London by 2012
Dreams do come true...
Megan Lewis, a former teacher, now horse owner and Welsh pony breeder woke up one day, turned to her husband Iestyn and said... "What would you say if I told you I wanted to ride from Beijing to London between the Olympics to raise money for Schoolchildren for Children?"; to his credit, Iestyn didn't bat an eyelid and the challenge was on.
Megan planned it, organised it and is well on the way to reaching London in 2012, with the second stage of this impressive trail ride due to start in april 2009.
Megan's aims and objectives are as impressive as the ride itself and she aims to ...
- Bring a message of goodwill from Beijing in the Beijing Olympic year to London in the London Olympic year.
- To raise money for the charity Schoolchildren for Children and in China for the China Children and Teenagers fund.
- To raise awareness of the history, geography and culture of countries en route.
- To research and/or promote local breeds of horse en route.
So, do you fancy joining Megan for the second stage. There are some places available on this extraordinary equestrian adventure, with nothing promised except a wealth of unique experiences you will never forget.
