Caroline checked Smelly this morning and he has returned to his normal self and is in terrific shape. He is in good spirits and Caroline is confident that he will do the eight miles from Cobham Manor Equestrian Centre into Canterbury.
Caroline was interviewed this morning on the Joe Talbot show on BBC Radio Surrey. She was not on too long but was able to explain about the Museum of the Horse (MOTH) initiative.
We have been asked why Caroline's horse is called Smelly. It is his nickname - he is actually called Melmott - sired by a race horse called Piccolo. His mother was called Time for Tea. Smelly is 10 years old and got his nickname from the time he became particularly fascinated with something squashed on the road which he kept smelling.
Caroline will be joined on the final leg by friends Meipe and Gill, so there will be three riders going into Canterbury on Sunday.
