Charity Challenges

BAAF is pleased to offer you an exciting selection of overseas challenge events. Simply choose whether you want to trek, cycle or horse ride, choose your destination and then contact the Fundraising team for more information. Jane went horse riding in Rajasthan for BAAF in February and says, ‘One of the best things was meeting everyone on the trek. We all bonded over our love of horses and wanting to help our various charities and I know I have made friends for life. Classic Tours organised our trip so well that we did not have to worry about anything and could concentrate on our riding and having a fantastic time and we were so well looked after.
