We are very excited to be running the Country Tour Sponsored Ride again this year and you can now enter online using the Horse Events website (click here)
​

​​​​The Country Tour Sponsored Ride in aid of the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance will take place on Sunday 19th September 2021 at The Park, Brent Pelham, which is set in a beautiful, rural area in north Hertfordshire about 5 miles east of Buntingford, 7 miles north east of Puckeridge and 10 miles north west of Bishops Stortford. Access is via the B1038 and the event will be clearly signed on the day. There is good access for lorries and trailers and a huge parking area on old parkland turf.

The ride will be approximately twelve miles long, with a six mile option, and will go south from Brent Pelham towards Albury and Furneux Pelham following  a well-marked route, with almost no roads,  mainly across private land which is not generally open to the public. There will be a mixture of open views, woodland, parkland with numerous optional jumps along the way.

There  will be delicious food and drinks available at the Black Horse, Brent Pelham, a short walk from the start/finish, as well as a refreshment stop on the route. A photographer will be there all day and you will be able to buy photos online after the event from www.markdalton.zenfolio.com/ct . A first aider will be present and a vet will be on call.

​We are only taking entries online, you can enter by clicking here. Entry fees are £30 per rider for those 16 years and over on 19th September and £20 per rider for those 15 years and under.

This includes a donation of £5 per rider to the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance. This is the MINIMUM sum and in previous years many of you have been very generous and have donated far more than this. PLEASE could you go to the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance's website (click here) and make a further donation if you would like to give more than this minimum sum.

If the Government brings in new Covid-related guidelines at the time of the event then the organisers will comply with these guidelines in order to keep everyone safe in these difficult times.
