80-Year-Old Woman Rides 600 Miles Across the UK With Her Horse and Dog

Every year, 80-year-old Jane Dotchin journeys 600 miles across the United Kingdom. She is accompanied by her trusty horse Diamond and her dog Dinky.

Dotchin grew up with animals and wants younger generations to become more aware of them. Across her journey, she often experiences drivers passing too close to Diamond, large campervans dominating campgrounds, and harsh weather. 

However, despite these setbacks, Dotchin makes the most of her trip every year.

Over 40 Years in the Making
Dotchin first began her trek across the United Kingdom in 1972. Her current travel partners consist of 13-year-old Diamond, an Irish Cob and Dinky, a 10-year-old disabled Jack Russell terrier.
