School’s day
This year’s School’s Day follows on from the success of last year’s, when almost 1,000 children turned up to join in the event. Open to every Primary school in the region, the free day is aimed at introducing horse racing and show jumping to a far-reaching audience.
School’s Day gives children the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a top-class sporting event, which includes the Young Horse Viewing Trials and International Showjumping.
In addition to the featured equine events, there will be numerous educational activities taking place throughout the School’s Day, including workshops hosted by charity The Brooke (Action for Working Horses and Donkeys), and The Pony Club, a voluntary youth organisation dedicated to encouraging young people to ride and to care for horses and ponies.
Corner Exotics, a company that hosts parties where children can see and learn about various animals, will also be holding educational workshops.
Plus, there will be author book readings, model making and the chance to meet a number of animals throughout the day.
