Just to show that Rowena was born for her challenge, here she is aged 2, already heading East:

And here she is already riding in China.

All is set in China, Megan's got the horses, guide, support, equipment, fodder, etc. it's all on.  Rowena is doing this not just to escape me and the kids, but really to raise money for School Children for Children, a charity funding basic improvements to schools in developing countries, see:
 
www.schoolchildrenforchildren.org
 
It would be great if Rowena can feel that her sore backside has actually achieved something, so if you could possibly donate something to this charity it would make it worth all the effort.  Rowena has set up a very simple web link, so it is easy to contribute with a credit card, and get gift aid:

Thanks so much, we would really appricate it.
