73-year-old undertakes 1,000-mile trek with two Belgian draughts

A heavy-horse enthusiast and her two Belgian draught horses are taking on a 1,000-mile round trip with a gypsy wagon to raise money for the Brain Tumour Charity.

Daisy Saddler and her horses Olive, 13 and Olive’s half-brother Arthur, 11, and collie-cross Tad left their home town Banbury, Oxon, at the end of April headed for Edinburgh.

They plan to travel roughly 50 miles a week using the UK’s minor road network, and the trip is expected to take five months to complete.
