In 2013 Philip Young and Paul Brace decided to drive from Cape Town, South Africa
to London in a rather unusual car. The car they chose was a Fiat Panda. Philip and
Paul, both car mechanics, believed the tiny car could manage the difficult journey.
The real reason for their journey, however, was to raise money for Farm Africa, a
charity which helps families in rural areas.
r
pe
This was not the first time the men had done this trip. In 2011 they did the same
journey in a Land Rover, which took several weeks. This time they wanted to
Pa
complete it as quickly as possible and break the world record.
e
Philip and Paul set off on February 1st. Their route covered 10,300 miles and lasted
pl
10 days, 13 hours and 28 minutes, stopping only for fuel and food. When one was
driving, the other slept in the back of the car. They faced many problems in the
m
thirteen countries on their route. In Ethiopia, they nearly ran out of fuel. After
crossing into Sudan, they took a wrong turn and wasted valuable time. They nearly
Sa
got swept off the road in thunderstorms in Botswana, their ferry was delayed in
Tunisia and snow and fog caused further delays in Europe. Temperatures ranged
from -4º to 40º C, but both men said the hardest part of the journey was the dust on
ns
the roads, which got into their eyes and mouth. Both agreed that the best part was
io
seeing supporters waving and cheering as they passed through villages and towns.
at
The men finally arrived in London at 5.28 p.m. on 11th February, breaking the
previous world record by almost 24 hours. The car had performed perfectly and
in
needed no oil or water, even at the end of the journey. With people having donated
am
almost £40,000, Philip and Paul are looking forward to their next adventure.

Parts of a Saddle

Parts of a saddle.
There are several different kinds of saddle, and they may have different parts.
However, all saddles have a seat. This is the part that the rider sits on.
The cinch or girth is the long leather strap which holds the saddle onto the horse.
It’s like a belt, and it can be made bigger or smaller, depending on the size of the
horse.
The fork, which is also called the swell, is the part of the saddle that rises in front
r
of the seat. This stops the rider from falling forwards off the saddle.
pe
Pa
The part of the saddle where the rider puts his/her feet is the stirrups. There is a
stirrup which hangs down on either side of the saddle. They are often made of
metal, but can also be made of wood or leather.
e
pl
The cantle is the back part of the seat. When you sit in the saddle, the cantle is
m
right behind you. It gives the rider some support and stops the rider from falling
backwards. If the cantle is high, it is more difficult for the rider to fall off.
Sa
English saddles do not have a horn, but on a Western saddle, the horn rises from the
ns
centre of the fork. The rider uses it to hold on to and it is the highest part of the
io
saddle.
at
The fender is the leather part on a saddle which hangs down on each side of the
horse. It connects the stirrup to the rest of the saddle. The stirrup hangs down from
in
the fender.
am
The skirt is the outer part of the saddle, which rests on the horse’s back. The skirt

mistakes should not be penalised; this is the reading comprehension so the focus is on
understanding, not writing. Answers may vary in construction from the ones given below. Lifting
