🐴🌅 A day in the life of a racehorse

The crowds see the finish line, but the real work starts long before the gates open.

From 4am feed checks and morning gallops to expert care, race-day preparation and post-race recovery, every champion relies on a dedicated team working around the clock. ❤️

Behind every HORSE that steps onto the track is a TEAM that has been at work since well before DAWN, and won’t stop until their charge is safely HOME and settled for the night.
