From the driver’s seat to the saddle!⚡️

Top touring car pilot Max Hart is participating in Saturday’s Pat Smullen Charity Race for Cancer Trials Ireland at the Curragh. He enjoyed a final tune-up on our simulator with Classic-winning rider & jockey coach Niall McCullagh. Max only started riding in January whereas Niall rode his first winner 40 years ago! 🤯

Donations are open for Max & all riders. Follow the link to support this very worthy cause: https://bit.ly/4qG9Dow

Happy retirement to Maxine O'Sullivan! 🫶

She bows out with over 40 winners on the track, a Cheltenham Festival winner with IT CAME TO PASS, 80 P2P successes & seven P2P Champion Lady Rider titles 🏅

Maxine is a key part of our Junior Academies & is a great role model for any young rider. Best of luck with the next chapter 🍀

✂️ Those aren’t just hairs…

A horse’s whiskers are highly sensitive & help them explore the world, find food & avoid obstacles. That’s why they should never be cut ❌

Removing them would be a bit like if we lost the fingers from our hands! 🖐️
