About this video

At the half way point in the 40 km media ride at the Golden Horseshoe '10 on Exmoor, Fiona Price and elite squad member Annie Joppe are unsure whether they will achieve the 'gold award' time due to making several detours! Pushing on, they meet their crew at intervals for watering and sluicing the horses. The ride has an exciting climax but it's not over until they have got through the final vetting with fit, sound horses. Getting the horses' heart rates down is a tense affair. Will they do it? Fiona is uncomfortable after the ride but has another 45 minutes to hack back to the stables. Later on, she shares her private thoughts with everyone at prize-giving!

aliwade 30 Jan 2011 Congratulations to all involved. That mare had a fantastic trot, but I must admit that I would have cantered slowly most of the way (terrain allowing) as far less work on the rider's knees! Ali xx

Allysmalice 13 Jun 2010 Brilliant videos, thanks Fiona (and I am very jealous!). Can I ask how much fittening work the horses do to prepare for this sort of event?
