On Friday 24th September 2021, I will be riding a real racehorse in a real horse race with 12 other jockeys at York Races. I have been preparing for this day since I found out in December 2019! It has been a long road, but it is nearly here – eek!
I will be riding a horse for Tim Easterby, based at Great Habton, just outside Malton and have been riding out there (practicing) regularly in the last 18 months. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous!
Like many of us, my family and friends have been affected by cancer. Macmillan provide the most amazing support and I am trying to raise as much money as possible for them!
