Hi folks!

Sarah and Tippy here:

Just to let you know - Hollie took Tippy to another show last weekend and they got a fourth and a fifth. Hollie was a bit down about her fifth place but she really deserved it as she was competing in the best rider class, except most of the riders were adults. I think there was only her and another girl who were teenagers the rest were adults including some professional riders. There were 13 entrants in the class and she rode Tippy really well, doing the most foot-perfect show ever. So well done Hollie.

On a more serious note; I need your help. I'm going to be doing the Run to the Beat half marathon in London on October 5 and need sponsorship. As I couldn't decide which horsey charity to run for, I've decided to run for the NSPCC which I'm sure you'll agree is a brill charity.

All donations gratefully received! If you're in the Greenwich area on Sun Oct 5 give me a cheer as I trot my way through in the race.
