Firstly, a big shout out to ROBERT STEVENSON, who attended our Ground Based Yard Staff (non-riding) Course in March 2018 with no prior experience, but is already a Head Lad for Richard Spencer.

Well done to courses 331, 332 and the FLP course for working hard and helping in the Fanzone

People in the Racing Industry aren’t excited because its a Bank Holiday weekend, they’re excited because it’s 2000 & 1000 Guineas weekend @thehomeofracing, the first 2 Classics of the year.
Here’s a flashback to last year when course 320 & 321 held the name boards for the runners and riders.
Look out for our trainees again this year, and if you’re there send us your pics

A little throwback to last Friday… Demi (course 330) winning her course Best Turned Out competition with CONNIE O’MEARA

It’s! The day when we give a shout out to Graduates… Lemmy Douglas (course 284) who is now riding winners under rules in New Zealand (pictured below)

Elaine Deas (course 328) who won Best Turned Out on her first lead up at Doncaster for boss Mark Johnston on Saturday.

GOLDREAM and KINGSGATE NATIVE reminiscing about their time @robertcowellracing-racehorses

There is not much we like more than hearing and sharing the successes of our Graduates, so if you think you or somebody you know needs to be celebrated, lets us know.

Lets kick start with these two…
. 👉JAYDON LEE (course 326) – placed at Nicky Hendersons in December 2018, he started riding PENTLAND HILLS (winner of this years Triumph Hurdle and Aintrees 4yo Juvenile Hurdle) as soon as he started and has kept the ride after the big wins. Brilliant start to his career in racing 💪💪💪
. 👉LYALL HODGINS – graduated last summer, and achieved his Amateur licence and is now riding winners on the P2P circuit, his first at Corebridge back in March (see photo

Who is this enjoying the sunshine??
.
All of our horses started their careers as racehorses, some more successfully than others, but all of them excel in their secondary career of teaching the next generation of stable staff-racehorses

Thirsty work 💦🥤

Never underestimate the importance of core strength and balance…
This is so important to be an effective rider of racehorses, and this simple training exercise is training both of those areas

Today marked the end of EASTER PONY RACING CAMP. We’ll have more photos and videos to share but whilst you’re waiting here is a sneak peak of riding on the straight gallop on Thursday

You can leave school on the last Friday in June if you’ll be 16 by the end of the summer holidays, but then you must SIGN UP TO OUR APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME!
.
Apparently there are other options but a classroom that involves riding racehorses and guaranteed employment by completing the 9/14 week course sounds the best option to us!
