Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving p

My name is Lindsay Culkin and I am proud to be a Wobbleberry. Wobbleberries are a group of mainly middle-aged, non competitive riders that have not had the chance to get out there an compete an challenge themselves... Most of us have nerves to conquer / weight to lose / fitness to achieve - for me it will be to tackle that big thing that tends to limit me - anxiety....so we are aiming to make a public spectacle of ourselves by attempting our BE debut at the end of next season. Its likely to be a painful and humiliating journey, so please sponsor us support us an raise funds for a great cause.

Not only have I recently recovered from a riding accident which left me in a wheelchair for a year and having to learn to walk again i have never competed ..iv also never even attempted a dressage test .. an until last month i never had transport or a horse capable of something like this so want to set myself a life goal before i get to old an regret it n have those wish i had memories...

Somera is my partner an bestfriend on this journey, he is an 8yr old 15.3hh Thoroughbred gelding. It will be a huge challenge for us to get ready for Autumn 2017. He previously evented but due to injury before i bought him hes done none for two years, when i got him a year ago we were both starting over from scratch an learning again...so this challenge will be a huge achievement for us both as a team an will test our partnersnip which i hope will only grow an become greater.

Having been the stablehand, groom and owner that never could now its time to say yes i can.

Please sponsor me on this mad and probably painful and embarrassing journey. All donations will go to Hannah's Willberry fund and used for Cancer research and trying to full fill Hannah's wish to get more people into Eventing.

About the charity
