HORSE owners are being invited to take part in a charity riding event near Redditch later this month.

The event, which aims to raise money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital, takes riders through Warwickshire countryside and farmland.

The route begins at Fosters Farm near Ullenhall and Henley-in-Arden where riders can park their cars, horse boxes and trailers, before setting off in small groups.

There will be optional jumps and refreshments served halfway through the course.

Riders will finish the route back at Fosters Farm where they will be able to purchase additional food, refreshments and photographs.

Rides, taking place on Sunday, August 30 between 10am and 2pm, cost £15 per adult or £10 for children.
