Would you like to enjoy the chance of a lifetime to ride under Rules in Malaysia? The AJA have received an invitation for two lady riders to ride at Ipoh on 8th February. Travel would be to arrive on 6th February in Kuala Lumpur and to return home on 9th or 10th February. Sorry but you must pay for your own air fare (around £500) but everything else will be paid for by your host country and you will be very well looked after by the Malaysian Amateur Racing Association. If you would like to enjoy racing in the Far East, please contact Sarah Oliver immediately. All applicants will be given serious consideration! Any winning rides abroad count towards your career total!
