Racing Insight Days
What are Racing Insight Days?
Have you ever wondered how former racehorses live during their racing career? A Racing Insight Day is your opportunity to find out.
Racing Insight Days are unique opportunities to gain an in-depth understanding of the life of a racehorse, from training to retirement and how they can then transition into a second career. These events provide a great chance to learn about routine, feeding, training and much more, while a horse is on a racing yard.
If you're a coach, these days are CPD endorsed, offering a fantastic chance to expand your skills and knowledge.
