NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location.
It has always surprised me that when reports are made about the state of British industry and major commercial concerns, I hear nothing about the horse racing 'industry' and other horse related associated activities in the UK. It really is a concentration of immense wealth. So why doesn't it figure in reports about the state of the British economy? One report I have found says that British horse racing alone involved £3.4 billion in 2023.
But of course that doesn't include all the stabling and training facilities required. Plus of course no estimate has been made, as far as I can see, of all the facilities involved in the multitude of pony/horse activities and enterprises employed in serving the sport/pleasure aspects.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
