About this event
The National Horseracing Museum is delighted to welcome The Recycled Racehorse Falconry Team to the museum on Saturday 18th May 2024 for our Horseback Falconry event.
Martin and Philippa are a husband and wife team with five ex-racehorses retrained to work with birds of prey, showing the true versatility of the retrained racehorse when given the opportunity.
There will be two displays at 11 am and 1pm. The demonstrations will be fast, informative, educational and entertaining, showing the horses have with the birds of prey. You’ll find out how their relationship was forged and how two such diverse animals became a happy relaxed team.
