About

Very few spectator sports are quite so thrilling as horseracing (and not just because you've put a week's wages on at 33-1). But an incredible amount of hard work goes into racing before the horses even get to the racecourse and you'll get a glimpse of it during your morning with top racehorse trainer Charlie Mann or his professional assistant trainer at their Lambourn stables, in the heart of horse racing country. You'll have an early start - but the experience begins with a hearty farmhouse breakfast with one of Charlie's jockeys. Then you'll head out to the gallops to watch the horses being put through their morning training session. You'll learn about the training and groundwork that it takes to turn a horse into a champion - and get some tips on spotting a winner. Charlie and his trainers have trained over 400 winners and can answer all your questions. We can't guarantee that it will turn your donkeys into dead certs, but we can guarantee a morning of enjoyment and insight.
