Horse power boost for funds
Supporters used horse power to raise more
than £1,000 for the work of St John Ambulance in Derbyshire with a
ride through Chatsworth
Park, home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.
More than 60 riders braved wind and rain to take part in the
sponsored 12 mile ride through private grounds not normally open to
the public.
Organiser Carolyn Pope, a member of the St John Ambulance
schools training team, said: 'We all got
wet, but it was great fun – and a real privilege to see some of the
beautiful countryside that is usually out of bounds to riders.'
A total of £1,200 was raised by the event. Everyone taking part
received a rosette and prizes were awarded to those who raised the
most.
