Stable Staff Week 2016

The inaugural Stable Staff Week gets underway today; the initiative aims to bring the racing industry together to inform and engage horseracing supporters about the passion, skill and dedication required to work with racehorses.

The week will incorporate a range of PR initiatives to celebrate the vital part that stable staff play in the production of British horseracing and generate awareness about Racing Welfare’s role in supporting racing’s workforce.

The pinnacle of the week will be the Betfair Clock Tower Cup on Racing Welfare’s Raceday at Doncaster on Friday 1^st July, a charity race which sees stable staff switching saddles to become jockeys and riding horses trained by their bosses. 

We are extremely proud of our staff at Chestnut Tree Stables and work with them to encourage progression and development in their racing careers - we were the first yard to be awarded the Investors In People accolade for our continued efforts in this area.

Throughout the week we will be uploading 'Staff Profiles' to the website which will allow you to get to know the team at Chestnut Tree Stables on a more personal level - they may also prove quite entertaining!

In support of this well-deserved initiative, please show your gratitude by using the hashtag #StableStaffWeek on social media.
