With the target of raising £500,000 to be split between the British Eventing Support Trust and Spinal Research, a whole host of eventers, led by Piggy March and including Ian Stark, Olympic gold medalists and World and European champions, will come together to do good in Caroline’s honor. Cycle4Caroline, which will take place in November, was launched this week at the Burghley Estate and, beginning at Blair Castle in Scotland and heading south, over the course of ten days will visit iconic eventing venues such as Chatsworth, Burghley, Bramham and Badminton. Read more here and listen in as Piggy and Tom March talk to Nicole Brown about their endeavor on the EquiRatings podcast here. If you’d like to make a donation of your own, you can do so here.
