Staff from Keswick’s Calvert Stables will undertake a trap push from Keswick to Threlkeld and back again on the old railway line.
Stables manager Lou Hogan, with Becky, Rosie, Abbie and willing volunteers have set themselves this challenge as part of efforts to raise money for a new ride and drive horse to join the 12-strong team at Calvert Stables.
On Monday October 27, the team will take it in turns in pairs to push the 110kg trap along the 10km route.
When not on trap duty, the horse-lovers will be shaking their collection boxes to encourage ramblers to part with their pennies in aid of this very worthy cause.
The goal is to raise £10,000 to fund and welcome the newest stable member sometime next year.
On the outskirts of Keswick, Calvert Stables is a British Horse Society and Riding for the Disabled Association-approved riding centre.
The dedicated team of six provide accessible riding and trap driving for residential and community riders.
To donate to the trap push online, visit the team’s Just Giving page.
