🏇 Thank you! 🏇

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the owners, trainers, and jockeys for their outstanding support throughout the season. We are also deeply grateful to our generous sponsors, Denbury Homes Reeman Dansie JM Finn, Church of Bures, Orwell Park Prep School, Old Buckenham Hall, The Marquis, Addison Ross whose contributions have been invaluable.

It has been a pleasure to host two wonderful race meetings at Higham, and we truly appreciate the continued support from everyone involved, including our army of volunteers who work so hard to get the course ready and ensure that the race days run smoothly. 💛

We are delighted to share that the three organisations we supported this year have all benefited greatly: St Helena received £1,200 from the bucket collection; Nayland School raised £1,000 through their excellent Dog Show; and Shelley Riding for the Disabled Centre received £1,100 from the Lead Rein Dash.

Finally, thank you all for coming along and we look forward to seeing you next year!
