Woke up early and managed to get to the yard to ride out 1 lot before work. felt really good as I am getting more confident and having to push the horses to test my ability and really ride them.

The fund raising it still going incredibly well. I'm 775 of the way there, but March is getting so close! Really please do spread the word about donations, it's a fantastic cause: www.justgiving.com/Chloe-Bowkett.

Really looking forward to tomorrow night's fund raising raffle/party. My friend Sophie is kindly donating her house for the party and we've had so many people who have said they'd love to attend. The raffle prizes include cakes (always a winner) and it promises to be such a fun night; makes a change from early morning runs!! Entrance is £5, message me (http://twitter.com/chloebowkett) if you'd like to come!

Cheltenham Racecourse in full Festival swing!

There have also been some very exciting whispers about maybe having found a horse to ride for the race, so it seems that everything is starting to really come together now. Which is a bit of a relief, considering I'll be competing in front of 60,000 people - might need a horse for that!
