Doddie’5 Dazzlers head off on horseback

Two Scotswomen have been selected to participate in the Mongol Derby 2022, the longest and toughest horse race in the world. Alice Gully and Kate Mactaggart, both 46 from the Scottish Borders, known as Doddie’5 Dazzlers, are racing to raise £30,000 in aid of the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, set up by fellow Scot, Doddie Weir OBE. This gruelling 1,000km course takes up to 10 days, and is dangerous with a high chance of injury. Typically only half the riders complete the race. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/doddie5dazzlers
