EX RACERS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW TO BE HELD AT BLAIR CASTLE INTERNATIONAL HORSE TRIALS

Many horses which have raced under rules go on to lead fulfilling lives in other spheres of competition and this year some will be lucky enough to show their paces during Blair Castle International Horse Trials, Scotland’s leading equestrian event.

For the first time Blair Castle will host the Scottish Ex Racers Championship Show on Sunday 24th August for racehorses that have been retrained as riding horses and registered with the Ex Racers Club.

Unlike conventional showing classes the Ex Racers Club ignore any bumps and scars that the horse may have acquired during its racing career. There will also be a parade and prize giving in the Country Fair Arena, so a fantastic day for all ex race horses in Scotland. One not to be missed.

The show is supported by Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), Baileys Horse Feeds and Mountain Horse. Lots of fantastic prizes are on offer and a beautiful Champion of Champions trophy supplied by RoR.

Several classes are planned for the Blair Castle Horse Trials championship show and qualifying classes will take place at the following shows in Scotland.
