Charity Ride Raises Funds for Horse Welfare

Last Saturday 23 August dawned fair and dry for the ILPH Sponsored Ride through the Elvedon Estate , near Thetford, Norfolk.

"The cool breeze certainly made the day more comfortable for both horses and humans," comments Jenni Debbage, ILPH Operations Support Officer who organised the event.

The 67 riders who enjoyed a peaceful ride around the beautiful estate tracks and roads had the choice of a 6, 10 or 15 mile ride, with the majority of riders opting for the 10 miles.

"The opportunity to ride around a private estate is very rare and we are very grateful to the Earl and Countess of Iveagh for their generosity," Jenni continues, "the turnout was brilliant despite several other equine events on over the weekend and we raised an amazing £1,380."
