for teams to rest and refuel. 30 miles of road were shared between both routes so if you were out and about you may have seen a sea of cyclists in Ride High shirts travelling through incredible landscapes such as the Woburn Deer Park. Whilst the cyclists were en route, back at Ride High


volunteers and eagerly awaiting guests were preparing for their return. T roughout the afternoon teams crossed the fi nish line and after so long apart, it was great to see them embracing and congratulating each other for their achievement. Every single participant completed the event and was presented with a very special medal decorated by Ride High members, volunteers and staff . T ey then proceeded to enjoy a well-earned barbecue. Given this was the charity’s first Cycle Challenge the


response to the event was fantastic. T e charity is so grateful to everyone that embraced and supported the challenge - and the feedback received was so positive that they’re planning to make it an annual event. So, it’s time to get training and enter a team in 2022! James Farmbrough, RSM, said: “Thanks for a really well


organised and enjoyable event. Great route, supportive volunteers and a really special medal – I’ve had dozens of medals over the years but none as meaningful as this one!”


ALL THINGS BUSINESS


Ride High supports children whose challenging


circumstances and traumas make everyday life a struggle. T ey use horses as a vehicle to help transform their lives. Horses are able to connect with the children in a way other more traditional interventions such as counselling often don’t. Many children won’t speak – but they’ll put their arms around a horse and whisper in its ear – and that’s where the transformation starts. Over a period of three to 12 months they


attend Ride High every week and the charity uses their connection with horses to engage them in a programme that supports their mental and physical health and wellbeing. In addition to all the participants, the charity


would like to give special thanks to the army of volunteers who supported the event on the day, and to sponsors Cawleys, Sysmex UK, Scotts of Thrapston, TruckEast, Marshall Amplification, RSM and All T ings Business.
