Atherstone girl Daniella Fretwell is about to reveal to us the real beauty behind horse riding.
Daniella is one of fifteen Equestriennes who are being photographed wearing little more than their smiles for a 2012 Lady Godiva style calendar, with the intention of raising money for The Myelin Project, a charity which funds research into Multiple Sclerosis and the Leukodystrophies. The girls are being photographed in 12 beautiful locations from Thirsk to Warwickshire, to the shore of the Menai Strait.
Daniella, who has been riding since she was 9 years old, agreed to do the calender shoot after being contacted by the photographer, Andrew Monk, from Bury, in Lancashire.
Andrew has witnessed the devastating effects of MS on his wife Gwen, for whom he cares full time. Gwen was stricken by the disorder eighteen years ago at the age of 32. Andrew has watched a fit, healthy, young woman gradually being forced to come to terms with a fearfully debilitating illness.
See some of the photographs from the shoots, reserve a calendar, which will be available from the end of August, and enter a free caption competition with the chance to win a signed Phil Collins self portrait doodle and a CD with 144 wallpaper images on it of all the Hot To Trot riders at www.hottotrot.org
