Tour Itinerary
Saturdays (February to October inclusive)
Start time: 8am (two-hour tour)
The fun starts the moment you arrive at Robins Farm, where the day commences with a trip to the gallops to watch the string being put through their paces at first hand.
Next it's back to the yard for a winning breakfast butty (guaranteed to set you up for the day).
You'll then enjoy an informative tour of the stable to gain an insiders' view to some of the equine stars 'looking over the doors' and you'll get a chance to ask George about the workings of a racing yard and hear tales 'from the horse's mouth' from his colourful careers in the Sport of Kings.
