A TEENAGE boy with autism has achieved his dream of jumping over a high fence on horseback.
James Preston, from Checkendon, successfully cleared a 1.67m hedge while taking part in a drag hunt at Kingsclere, near Newbury.
The 15-year-old was one of about 50 riders who tackled the course, which is owned by racehorse trainer Andrew Balding.
He beat his personal record set when he and his 11-year-old Irish sports horse Patrick jumped a 1m fence at the Chiltern Cross Country course in Woodcote.
The pair are being taught by experienced rider Amanda Stewart, who lives in Woodcote and befriended James as they both stable their horses at Frieze Farm in Sonning Common.
