Ah yes, the application form. We're not normally a selective bunch. All sorts of snaggle-toothed and navigationally-challenged pretenders line up for our adventures every year. But because the horse power is from real horses the Derby selection process is rather more serious. Only a good horseman, in fine fettle, with Herculean reserves of pluck and verve should consider this challenge.

Still reading? We are basically FULL for 2012, but it may still be worth applying if you have your heart set on our Olympic Edition.  There is always some wastage before the event as people get scared/pregnant/fired from work/injured falling off a seaside donkey in training, so it's well worth being on the reserve list.  And you can steal a march on the rest of the field trying to nab a place for 2013.  You can find the application form here

Not sure? We'd be delighted to chat to you and answer any questions you have about the event.  Why not drop our Department of Tack Cleaning and Equitation a line, here
