I'm really sorry to have to tell you that this ride has been postponed.

We heard on Friday that a small number of the yards within a 5 mile radius of Charlton Park have been confirmed with strangles (although not Charlton Park itself).

Having consulted with our local vets, we feel it is unwise to bring horses together from a wide area.

The Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire, and Charlton Park, have kindly agreed that we can postpone, and hold the ride later in the year, so we'll get back in touch when we have a new date.

Any questions, please pm me

Sorry to hear that the ride has been postponed - a difficult decision but well made!

I'll keep an eye out for the new date
