Your Experience
You are about to enjoy the 'Sport of Kings' as a racehorse owner, joining the ranks of Arab Sheikhs and The Queen. Your Own Racehorse - Experience is made up of two parts, beginning with an informative close encounter of your Racehorse being trained, where you will meet the Racehorse Ownership Manager and see your horse work on the training track in the fresh early morning mist.
You will then enjoy lunch and discuss the racing plans for part two of your racehorse ownership experience.
Part two will be a day at the races where we can promise the adrenaline will be racing as fast around your body as your horse will be around the course. With a bit of luck you will end up in the winners enclosure.
