SHUTTLE/Times and News snapper Cordelia Noble has put herself in the frame with plans to saddle up for a charity horse ride through the Wyre Forest.

Cordelia, who does freelance work for the district's leading newspaper, will join forces with her sister Elaine for the 12-mile ride on Sunday, August 31.

The sisters, both from Stourbridge, will be joined by other riders to raise cash for Air Ambulance and worldwide charity Brooke Hospital for Animals.

"Both Elaine and I have been going to a lot of these riding events for years and we just thought it was about time we organised one ourselves," said Cordelia.

Riders will have the option of a shorter ride of six miles, and entry fees can be paid on the day.

The start of the ride will be signposted from the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre which is off the A4117 between Kidderminster and Bewdley.

The first rider will depart at 10am and the last at 2pm.

Entry forms for the event are available by calling 01384 873157 after 8pm.
