Holly Budge

Well I finally finished, and will be taking my place in the Guinness Book of Records for taking part in the world’s longest horse race. This was confirmed yesterday.

I’ve been finished for two days and am now chilling out at the finish line. A South African guy called Charles won the race and he finished 4 days ahead of me. The rest came in today, so everyone finished which is great. I ended up middle field as I had some really good horses for the last few legs of the race. Although I did manage to get stuck in a bog and my horse started to sink which was a little scary.

But its a great atmosphere at the finish line. Everyone’s reflecting on what we have achieved, although we are all very tired. You really don’t realise how tired you are until you’ve stopped.

We’re having a big party tonight now that everyone has finished with a prize giving and then I’m going back to the capital tomorrow.
