Christmas Owners Morning – 7th December 2025
Despite the time of year, we were fortunate with the weather for our annual Christmas Owners Morning. Guests enjoyed watching the horses turned out in the paddocks from the comfort of our trailer, while warming up with pigs in blankets, mulled wine, and mince pies.
A big thank you to The Racing Club for sponsoring our raffle in aid of the Injured Jockeys Fund — together we raised £435. We also announced the sweepstake results and presented the prizes. Click here to view.
We are extremely grateful to everyone who helped make the morning a success:
• Our wonderful owners
• The entire yard team — with special thanks to Chrissie for organising the sweepstake and coordinating the event
• Our dedicated vets, farrier, physio, and dentist
• Our jockeys and our yard sponsor, William Hill
• And of course, the family — Roger, Mum, Dad, and Grandma
Thank you to everyone who plays a part in making the winners happen!
The Team ready for action!
