A Heathfield man has been recognised for his impressive sleddog achievements.
Matt Hodgson has been running sleddogs for 20 years and has won the world champion title five times.
In 2015 he began competing internationally and went on to become the GB’s first ever on-snow Sleddog World Champion in 2023.
He has competed in 11 international events picking up 10 medals for Great Britain.
More information about Matt and his sleddogs can be found on his website: infurysleddogs.co.uk.
He was congratulated by MP for Sussex Weald, Nusrat Ghani, as part of her summer surgery tour.
Ms Ghani said: "I am always amazed by the incredible people that live in our corner of the world and their extraordinary stories.
"Matt has certainly put Heathfield on the map with his long list of accolades and successes over the past twenty years.
"To be a five-time world champion and GB’s first ever on-snow Sleddog World Champion is a remarkable achievement, especially as regular snowfall is not a frequent occurrence in Sussex Weald.
"It was a pleasure catching up with Matt and I wish him and his furry team all the very best in their next endeavours."
