A special bond ❤️ To coincide with the launch of #HorsePWR, British Racing's biggest campaign to highlight the sport's commitment to horse welfare, the GBR team produced a video that told the retirement story of Frodon and Bryony Frost. Frodon, a hugely popular horse and a Cheltenham Festival winner, retired last year and is clearly thriving in his new surroundings at the Frost's family home on Dartmoor.

Great British Racing reposted this
Yesterday, we proudly hosted the first-ever Gallagher Racing Experience Day at Wincanton Racecourse, where we welcomed 75 enthusiastic children from four local schools. 🎉🐎 It was a day filled with excitement and discovery as these young learners got hands-on insights into the world of horse racing. From understanding equine welfare and exploring various careers within the racing industry, to applying maths to racing scenarios, the experience was both educational and fun. This special day was made possible through the fantastic collaboration of several racing organisations, Racing to School, Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), Great British Racing, World Horse Welfare and of course my fantastic team Wincanton Racecourse. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making this day such a success! Creating opportunities to inspire the next generation and show them the breadth of possibilities in our sport is what days like these are all about. Here's to many more!
