National Racehorse Week: Book Your Place Now!

National Racehorse week will once again provide an opportunity for all who wish, to see Britain’s racehorses and the wonderful people who provide such expert care. 

In an experience like no other, over 150 events across the country, including training yards, studs and retraining centres, will open their doors to the public to show what life as a racehorse is really like. 

Research commissioned by Great British Racing to support the launch of National Racehorse Week has revealed a disconnect with animals and the countryside among the UK’s city dwellers, including the startling finding that 26% of 12-40 year olds has never seen, or can’t remember seeing, a horse in real life. 18-24 year olds are the least likely age group to have seen a horse ‘in person’, with 44% having never had an equine encounter.

Whether you’re an avid fan, a casual fan, looking at visiting an equine facility for the first time or even wanting to introduce a friend or family member to the sport, National Racehorse Week is the perfect opportunity to get involved!
