This year is New Beginnings 15th Anniversary. We are proud of what we have accomplished over that time. We have worked with most of the Yorkshire racecourses and have developed a special relationship with York Racecourse. Our first Equine Ambassadors were Harry (Golden Hello) and his pony companion Meg, then Mac (Mister McGoldrick) and Louis (Itsmyboy). We now have Remy (Goldream) and Nico (Nearly Caught) and Poppy the pony, with others coming through to continue this valuable work. Over the years they have seen thousands of people and converted many into horse lovers. If anyone had told us 15 years ago we would be where we are today, we would have never believed them, but, our passion for all the horses we have, or have had the privilege to look after will keep us going. It has been our pleasure to meet so many lovely people and help them in whatever way we can. We would like to thank every one who has helped us on this journey, from our Trustees and Patrons, to our amazing team and those who have been previous team members. Thank you all our precious loaners out there, our loyal volunteers both past and present, supporters, suppliers, funders, and our loyal "Friends of New Beginnings". So, here's to the next 15 years, who knows where we could be by then!

We’re incredibly proud of our Facilities Manager, Gavin Pattison, who has been named a finalist for the ‘Unsung Hero’ Award at the upcoming Stadium Business Awards 2025.   This well-deserved recognition reflects not only Gavin’s dedication but also the outstanding efforts of the entire team.   We’d like to thank Gavin and his colleagues for their tireless work in maintaining the racecourse to the highest standards, and especially for the vital role he played in delivering the new Bustardthorpe Development in 2024.
