A retired property developer has swapped his pipe and slippers for a Stetson and stirrups as he rides 2,000 miles across America on horseback.

Country and western fanatic Bob Jones, 58, could not even ride a horse 18 months ago - but he has already covered 220 miles of his epic journey.

Accompanied only by his two horses Cody and Tigers, Mr Jones, from Longwell Green, in south Gloucestershire, started his adventure in North Dakota on July 31 and hopes to finish in El Paso, Texas, in December.
