VISIT THE RACING YARD
Here at HDR we run a very open house and welcome everyone to come and see our fantastic set up and happy horses.

Please get in touch to book a visit or read on to find out more about our ownership packages.
BECOME AN OWNER
At HDR we run regular coffee mornings, come and see the horses, meet other owners and enjoy a fun morning out. As well as sponsored race days at local tracks.
The owner packages you can choose from are:
- Sole Ownership
- Partnerships - up to 10 people
- Syndicates - up to 20 people
- Robin's Racing Club
SOLE OWNERSHIP
Owning 100% of a horse as an individual; this is obviously the most personal ownership experience.
We offer packages so you always know what the cost is and have no surprise bills! Monthly training fees are variable dependent on the horses level or work (usually lower in the summer when the jumps horses are on holiday) and all training fees are VAT reclaimable.
Sole owners have the benefit of being closely involved in the horses’ race planning and training. Each individual owner gets 6 Raceday badges including lunch to bring along family and friends.
Partnerships - up to 10 people
Partnerships can consist of up to 10 people, this is a great way to get a group of friends together to enjoy owning a racehorse and split the costs.
It makes for a great fun day out at the races when sharing the experience with friends. Partnerships get 10 Race day badges including lunch so everyone involved can come and enjoy a day at the races watching their horse.
Syndicates - up to 20 people
Here at HDR we run several syndicates of up to 20 people.
The syndicates are run via Whatsapp and the groups receive regular video updates plus guaranteed owners and trainers badges on race days (syndicate badges don’t always have lunch included depending on numbers attending).
Robin's Racing Club
An affordable monthly subscription gets you a loaned share in 3 horses racing.
The club can have up to 50 people in it and is run via Whatsapp by Robin Dickin. Robin posts regular updates on all things HDR which are informative and amusing!
The club is a real community and allows racing fans to have that ownership experience at a fraction of the cost!
All prize money is reinvested into the club to secure the next horse when one may have to retire. We usually manage to get all club members who want to go racing a ticket but if there is a large attendance there may be a ballot for tickets.
ENJOY OWNER EVENTS
At HDR we run regular coffee mornings and try to always organise a celebration after a winner!
Come and see the horses, meet other owners and enjoy a fun morning out as well as sponsored race days at local tracks.
All owners receive regular video updates of the horses galloping, jumping or simply relaxing in the stables, including future race plans and general updates on how training is progressing.
RACE DAY EXPERIENCES
A Taste of the Action
If you are thinking about racehorse ownership but not quite ready to take the leap, get in touch and we can organise an owner’s race day experience for you, get a taste of the action and excitement you’ll get with your own horse!
OWNER EXPERIENCES
consistently improved many horses
We have been racehorse owners for nearly forty years and it has been an absolute joy to support Harriet and her team and share in her enormous enthusiasm since she took over the reins from her father Robin in 2022. Harriet has been closely involved with horses in general and racehorses in particular all her life and it clearly shows in the meticulous quality of care she and her team give to each individual horse bringing the best that is possible out of them. Since she started training Harriet has consistently improved many horses who may have otherwise lost their way and has an impressive win and place strike rate.
Harriet’s owners enjoy and value her exemplary communication skills and are always fully aware of the current condition of and plans for their horses.
Undoubtedly a rising star in the training world.
Alan and Sarah Waller owners of Admiral Fitz, Dodger Long, Lupus Regem, Hawk Stone and Walkinthecotswolds
Innovative ideas to improve her horses
Harriet and everyone at HDR are a pleasure to work with. They really understand horses and how to develop them and crucially put horse care first. Harriett is always available to discuss race plans and welfare and at a young age has a wealth of knowledge and innovative ideas to improve her horses and staff, to the benefit of our beloved sport.
I am convinced Harriett is at the beginning of a long and successful career as a trainer and you will not be disappointed if you entrust your horses to her training care.
Matt FitzGerald, owner of Sophie Power, Admiral Fitz and Dodger Long
Everything is taken care of
I have had two horses with Harriet and her team for around two years. Aside from fantastic training and welfare I noticed that we have only been out of the places once with two winners! I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Everything is taken care of and nothing is too much trouble.
