A big thank you to all of those who helped organise this event. Thanks also to those who parted with money in pusuit of that elusive winner!

Each race had 6 donkeys thoroughbreds champing at the bit and ready to race for their owners:

Six wooden horses at the start line ready to race

Under starter’s orders

The horses were matched with a collection of top-notch jockeys racing for the prize:

Six people seated in a row pulling wooden horses with pieces of string

And they’re off!

Connor Wilson and Susie were joint winners of the “Match a baby” competition. I had the dubious honour of getting the worst score in the competition.

Over £700 was raised in support of the club and we had a good time.
