I've blogged about Ride Bare already, but now its almost here! In less than 3 weeks time, Sarah Braithwaite and I are setting off on our biggest riding challenge yet, riding from North Wales to Exmoor, a distance of over 200 miles, and we will be riding for at least 2 weeks, camping or staying at farms along the way.

A couple of weekends ago, Sarah went off to try out the second leg of our ride, and I've put the video of that day up here http://www.barnmice.com/video/ride-bare-test-ride.

Our ride will be a bit different as we will be riding our 2 horses barefoot, over all sorts of terrain hoping to show just what healthy hooves can really achieve :-)

We will be riding in aid of a charity called the Brooke, which helps horses, donkeys, mules and their owners in developing countries.

There is more about the Brooke, our ride and the route at www.ridebare.com and if any UK based riders would like to join us for part of the way you would be very welcome - check out the site and see if we are riding near you!
