SportEndurance! Report by Angie Brewell (Ride Organiser) Photos by Emmpix
Over 50 riders and their horses travelling from as far away as Wirral and North Wales descended on the Sport Endurance Peak and Forest Group’s Foremark Hallowe’en Spooks Ride on Saturday 30th October.
Severn Trent kindly allowed us to use their car park on Foremark Reservoir in Milton, South Derbyshire for the third year running. This year’s ride, taking place on Halloween weekend, offered itself to a fancy dress theme with some fantastic outfits all in aid of raising money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance. Emma Gann (
www.emmpix.co.uk) kindly sponsored a photograph for the winners of both the adult and
child fancy dress and took some fantastic shots of the horses and riders throughout the day. The weather was glorious and sunny making the autumnal colours even more vibrant against a clear blue sky.
Special thanks go out to Staunton Harold Rangers, the landowners of the National Forest and Mr Whyte for allowing us to use 3 miles of grassy tracks in the young woodland, which everyone loved. After the ride everyone was treated to yummy muffins made by Marcers the Bakers and a lovely rosette made by Deebees Rosettes.
Thank you to everyone for coming and especially to those who supported the Air Ambulance. Also a big thank you to all the helpers who made the day possible; Gill, Rach, Rachael, Laura, Mandy, Sarah, Joanna, Holly and of course Barry – my husband of 5 weeks who did much of the marking on his bike while I was nursing a terrible cold!!”
