The only racecourse in North Wales Gold Standard Winner #BangorRaces
Bangor Is-Y-Coed, Wales
Joined April 2010
Today we had the pleasure of welcoming The Princess Royal for The Clwyd Special Riding Centre Charity Day. The Princess joined Riding for the Disabled (RDA) as its Patron in 1971, later becoming President in 1985. It's great to be able to support such a great cause🐴

Can you help me? . My name is Bunny, and I got a bit lost at Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse. But don’t worry! I have made friends with one of the racehorses who is looking after me for now. Please can you share my photo of Jette and I, so that I can be reunited with my owner?🐰
