The Guinness Village – pre racing, between races and post racing
Cheltenham favourites LAMPA return to The Guinness Village, playing throughout the day with a mix of Irish favourites and greatest hits. After the racing, the fun continues for an hour of post racing music - what better way to end your day with us than getting the gang together for a final celebration at The Home of Jump Racing.
RoR Parade
The Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) parade takes place in the Parade Ring on Saturday 16th November.
The parade showcases the versatility of the Thoroughbred, together with the range of activities open to horses when they finish their racing careers, thanks to the work of Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), British Horseracing’s official charity for the welfare of horses that have retired from racing. Last year, participating horses included Bristol De Mai, Coneygree and Pineau de Re.
To help stimulate demand for former racehorses within the wider equestrian market, RoR annually stages over 40 separate competition series across 15 different disciplines, catering for all levels of ability, from grassroots to Elite. The disciplines include dressage, showing, polo, eventing, show jumping, endurance, hunting and horseball.
