By Prasun Sonwalkar, London, Apr 1 (IANS) :

An animal lover from North Wales has completed a gruelling five-day ride 
across Rajasthan to raise cash for maltreated horses in the Middle East.

Tilda Manson, from Bodedern, trekked across Rajasthan on horseback in 
temperatures of up 100 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 150 km. 

The former head of the Anglesey Equestrian Centre was one of 30 who undertook 
the ride for the Brooke Hospital in London, raising a total of 90,000 pounds.

"It was gruelling," said 64-year-old Manson. "We were riding for 30 to 40 km 
a day and I was badly kicked by a stallion.

"But it was worth it because Brooke Hospital do such excellent work and I 
would like to thank everybody that helped."
