Horse racing

The Barbuda Turf Club has gone from strength to strength in Barbuda, with support and funding raised to greatly improve the track. They meet every now and then on Sundays and on special race-days, starting after 12pm at the racetrack. There are usually four or more races, with two or three horses in each. It’s an exciting family day out that all enjoy with food and music. We must take great care of our horse population if we want to continue this sport, and encourage young jockeys to learn to ride on local horses.

All the most recent racing pictures are posted on their facebook page but here are some of mine from the archives.
