OVER £11,000 RAISED ON DAY 1

We had the most gorgeous day for our annual Fancy Dress Sponsored Ride! 19 horses in total paraded down the Village High Street in fancy dress before heading our onto Wimbledon Common and into Richmond Park for a glorious 10 mile ride in the sunshine.

Judges Lady Wimbledon and Adrian Mills really had their work cut out for them as the riders (and horses!) out did themselves this year with entries including Little Red Riding Hood, a Scarecrow, Simon Cow-ell, Zorro, Maid Marian and the hop away winner of the fancy dress an amazing Frog Prince perched on some lily pads! The ride is now in its 41st year and this year was made extra special by the inclusion of the first ever Village children’s and dogs’ fancy dress competitions. For the past several years the ride has raised money for The Royal Marsden and thanks to incredibly generous donations we have raised a staggering £11,000!!! on the first day of the ride alone! With Marian as the hightest sponsored rider of the day with over £2,000 and Emma riding Jasper as the Rider of the Day. The second day of our sponsored ride is Tuesday, and we invite everyone to come along to Wimbledon High Street to watch our second group of riders parade through the village in fancy dress, at 9.30 am or 12.30pm. Thank you so much to all of those who have already supported this incredibly worthy cause and please remember there is still time to donate https://www.justgiving.com/teams/WVS2016
