Six students from ACS Egham International School recently raised over £250 for a horse welfare charity after 
organising and taking part in a sponsored horse trek around Windsor Great Park.

Kate Loveday, a teacher at ACS Egham who organised the trek and runs the ACS Egham Horse Riding Club commented:
“After trekking around 8 miles in the park, the students were slightly saddle-sore but thrilled by how much money they had raised for the British Horse Society.
Thanks to the generous support of everyone who sponsored us, this money will make a real difference to the charity’s work.
Students are taught about horse welfare but this was a great way for them to do something practical to support equines in distress, and hopefully it will become a regular fixture for the ACS Egham Riding Club
