Get riding, driving and campaigning in BHS Access Week
| Get riding, driving and campaigning in BHS Access Week The British Horse Society is encouraging riders and carriage drivers throughout the UK to hold an equestrian event to mark BHS Access Week (21-31 May 2010) The British Horse Society's Access Week is a time for BHS staff, volunteers and members to hold events to raise awareness of equestrian access issues. There are many ways to get involved as local bridleways groups and BHS committees run events throughout the week. National events are also promoted through The British Horse Society website. A popular option for those wishing to fundraise for the Access Fighting Fund is the BHS Ride for Access scheme - now into its third year. |  |
A fun, sociable way of raising funds for the BHS, and getting together with other riders in your area, Rides for Access give a great opportunity for riders to enjoy current routes and preserve equestrian routes for the future. A Ride for Access pack is available from the BHS which contains everything required to organise and publicise your event.
In addition, the BHS are extending a challenge to those who live life on the edge: a skydive. The BHS Skydive for Access encourages you to do a sponsored skydive to raise money for our equestrian access work. You can book a place either at Langar, Nottinghamshire on 20 August or Hinton, Northamptonshire on 21 August.
BHS Senior Executive, Access Heather Clatworthy said: "If you're looking for a challenge, perhaps really passionate about rights of way, or simply love extreme sports, what better a way to show your dedication than doing something as bold as jumping out of a plane? This is an amazing, adrenaline filled way of raising funds and awareness for the BHS's access work, and a great reason to do something you may have only dreamed of before."
