National Racehorse Week

[humblepie]

National racehorse week is earlier this year. 23rd - 31st August although looking on the site there are yards open in September. Booking is open and I know a lot of yards got booked very quickly last year. It’s racing yards studs and retraining/rehoming yards. I have that week off work so I’ve booked up a visit.

Pondering a visit to the National Stud or an Epsom yard, just not sure if it's worth the bother of getting there. Are the tours/talks/demos educational for horsey people or are they more tailored towards the non-horsey public?

I have booked six tickets for Jeremy Scott and my friend has six booked for Philip Hobbs, we got a bit carried away and booked the max - we will of course let the organisers know well in advance if we don’t have six people going!

I’m going to both of those, it’s great they are on the same day.

I think it depends on the yard. It is to encourage new people but I think some do different things.

Do you think we will have time for a pub lunch or dinner on the same day?!

Girls gotta eat! So absolutely yes .
I think I’m with a couple of men from the pub, and J, so we can have a party!!
