Join us for the opportunity for a morning visit to this unique, successful racing yard within a picturesque setting of the Ogmore Valley.

'Christian Williams Racing is built on experience, patience and a deep understanding of the racehorse.
Led by Christian Williams, the yard focuses on training horses as individuals, communicating openly with owners, and creating an environment where horses can develop both physically and mentally. The emphasis is on longevity, welfare, and giving every horse the best possible chance to fulfil its potential.'

Christian’s career in racing began long before he became a trainer. A successful former jockey, he rode at the highest level of the sport, gaining invaluable experience with a wide range of horses, trainers and training methods. Amongst his many successes, Christian enjoyed Grade One victory on Noland, holds a perfect 3-3 on Gold Cup winner Denman and was also a gallant runner-up on Royal Auclair in the 2005 Grand National. That time in the saddle shaped his understanding of the science of the horse, the importance of patience and timing, and what separates short term results from long term success.

After retiring from race riding, Christian made the natural progression to training, bringing with him a practical, horse-first philosophy and a calm, straightforward way of working with owners and staff alike.


Our visit will begin with a view across the sand and river Ewenny to watch the horses work on the sand gallops adjacent to the Merthyr Mawr sand dunes, nature reserve & beach - this unique and natural habitat is a perfect place for the horses to work and thrive under Christian's careful eye and management.

We will return to the stable yard for a tour around, meet the team - humans & horses! 

Followed by refreshments at the yard.

Meet 9.45am at the viewing point (directions will be given closer to the day).

12pm end of event.

We will be asking for donations on the day towards the families chosen charity of 'Dreams & Wishes'.
