RIDERS from a Keighley livery are saddling-up for a charity event.

More than 20 people from Blantyre Livery are staging a nighttime fancy dress Halloween ride around the St Ives estate, Harden.

Proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK.

The event, on October 29, is being held after a team member at the Long Lee yard was diagnosed with breast cancer.

"The ride will be followed the next day by one in daylight to show off the costumes and raise more money – and provide some fantastic photo opportunities for everyone!" said a spokesman.

"Costumes so far include skeletons, pumpkins, witches, a unicorn and many more.

"With all different types of horse taking part, from competition to small ponies, this will definitely be a sight to remember!"

An online fundraising page has been set-up, at justgiving.com/fundraising/BlantyreHalloweenMidnightRide, with more than £440 coined-in so far.

The livery is also staging cake sales, a raffle and sweepstake.
