Point to Point Meeting
26th May 2024 Berks & Bucks Point-to-Point
We are so lucky to be able to run our own Point-to-Point at the beautiful Kingston Blount course in Buckinghamshire. Almost the last fixture of the season in the whole country – this is an exciting day out as horses from all over the country race to qualify before the season closes.
The last bank holiday in May is almost guaranteed to bring glorious sunshine and it’s the perfect setting for a family day out.
This year we will also be fund raising for the Ebony Horse Club, a charity in Brixton that transforms young lives through horses, who’s president is Her Majesty The Queen Consort.
There are fantastic sponsorship opportunities, space for trade stands and plenty of extra fun to be had with face painting for kids and our own hound race.
Early birds tickets are now on sale at only £13 – offer ends 22 May.
