National Racehorse Week is a nationwide annual celebration of the racehorse and a chance to see first-hand the love, care and attention that goes into looking after them.
Born out of an idea in 2019 by Richard to create a single event that could be hosted by the racing industry, National Racehorse Week is celebration of the animals who power racing and provide entertainment for millions, whilst also providing the public with insight into the dedicated care that they receive.
In an experience like no other, racing yards up and down the country opened their doors for the inaugural event in September 2021 to show the public the fantastic lives that these magnificent animals lead.
