Visit to Robins Farm Stables – 2011

During 2011 we took three groups of Colts and Fillies members to Robins Farm Stables to visit our horse, Safari Team.  On arrival everyone gathered in the Owners Room to meet Peter and Anton and enjoy refreshments before being taken on a tour of the yard and training facilities. Anton and Peter were wonderful hosts explaining all about how the yard worked and the horses were trained. The highlight of the trip was always meeting Safari Team and all our members got to personally say hello to him, he was always wonderfully behaved and accepted all the welcoming pats that came his way.

During our first visit Frances Flannagan, who won the competition to design the Colts and Fillies Club silks, was presented with a framed miniature set of silks by Peter and the members were able to see our silks all made up ready for Safari Team’s first run.

We will be running further trips to the yard during the season, if you would be interested in taking part please see the how to get involved section.
