On Race Days you'll be able to go racing! Enjoy the great hospitality you receive as an owner, go into the parade ring, chat to the jockey, watch the race in good company..........and visit the Winner's Circle afterwards (can't be guaranteed!)


We are also looking to have a social day out with or without a runner at Cheltenham Racecourse. 


There will be regular updates to keep you in the know. .and I'm sure lots more.


MOST IMPORTANTLY:

 YOU CAN GLOW IN THE KNOWLEDGE YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY!

The total net prize money won by our horse will be donated to good causes in the villages surrounding Withington. 


The villages we consider part of our "Village Community" are:

Withington, Compton Abdale, Colesbourne, Calmsden, Chedworth, North Cerney Woodmancote and Rendcomb.


If you don't live in or near one of these villages you can still join!


The charitable distribution process is yet to be determined but will likely be through grant applications following the conclusion of the racing year.
