A middle-aged British woman and two Chinese companions on Saturday set off on an epic horse ride that will see them cross China, Central Asia and Europe; and arrive in London for the 2012 Olympics. Megan Lewis, a 60-year-old British pony breeder and head of the expedition, said the three-year trek from Beijing to London was a lifelong dream. But the former geography teacher, who is raising money for charity, admitted the more than 5,000-mile (8,200-kilometre) journey was as much a test of the horses as the riders. You know you’re going to get lameness and all sorts of things with the horses, that’s just part of what goes with it; she said. But we’ve got a couple of nice little horses and we’ve got support from everyone.
