Nestled in the beautiful Cumbrian countryside, Andrew Wilson Racing is a small but dedicated National Hunt yard where the welfare of the horse sits at the heart of everything the team does.
Andrew has built a reputation for his patient approach to training, developing horses at their own pace and ensuring every individual receives the attention needed to reach its full potential. Operating from a close-knit yard, he and his team combine traditional horsemanship with the daily routines required to prepare horses for the racecourse.
Visitors attending the National Racehorse Week open day will have the opportunity to see first-hand what life is like behind the scenes at a working racing stable. From morning routines and feeding programmes to fitness work and schooling, the day will offer a unique insight into the care, dedication and teamwork involved in training racehorses.
As well as meeting the horses, guests will have the chance to speak with Andrew and the team about the different roles within a racing yard, the personalities of the horses in training and the journey from stable yard to racecourse.
For Andrew, National Racehorse Week provides an important opportunity to show the public the realities of modern racehorse care and the strong bond between horses and the people who look after them every day.
Whether you’re a lifelong racing fan or completely new to the sport, the open day promises a warm Cumbrian welcome and an opportunity to meet some of the equine athletes at the centre of British racing.
