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

Despite wearing an eyepatch, she makes the most of her journey every year, enjoying the sites and people she encounters along the way.

For her exemplarily annual trek, Dotchin was awarded an Exceptional Achievement Award from the British Horse Society. This year’s trip was her fourth Diamond. Dotchin has had four generations of pack horses she has traveled with, the first being a Haflinger stallion.
