Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 3 Journalists Share Posted March 3 The British Racing School has today announced Her Majesty The Queen as its Royal Patron. Her Majesty has a long association with British horse racing and equestrianism and visited the British Racing School as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations in 2023. The school was officially opened by His Majesty The King, then as HRH The Prince of Wales, in 1983. Ex-racehorse Schematic (GB), who was formerly owned by The King and The Queen, is a current resident of the school and is used to train the next generation of racing professionals. Her Majesty's other racing-related patronages include the Jockey Club, with His Majesty The King; the National Horseracing Museum; the National Stud; the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association; and York Racecourse. Andrew Braithwaite, chief executive of the British Racing School, said, “We are honoured that Her Majesty has accepted our invitation to become Patron of the British Racing School. “The Queen is hugely committed to supporting British racing and to ensuring that young people have the opportunity to experience the life-changing benefits of working with and riding horses, and are able to access the brilliant careers within racing. We are incredibly lucky and proud to have Her Majesty's support.” More information about the work done by the British Racing School can be found here.
