I will be attempting the ‘Toughest Foot Race on Earth’ in April next year across the Sahara🏃♀️As part of this I will also be raising funds for @ArthurRankHouse who provided such compassionate end of life care to dad (jockey Taffy Thomas): justgiving.com/fundraising/d… #horseracing
Should inclusive clothing be something #horseracing should encourage? womeninracing.co.uk/lionesse… Thanks @WomenInRacing1 for highlighting this topic.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we need to strike out racism.
By calling out discrimination, we can change sport for good. Because it’s better when we’re #AllintheRace #RespectinRacing #Inclusion #Diversity #Sport #horseracing
What would you tell your younger self this #BlackHistoryMonth?
Hear from Brian Finch, Callum Helliwell and Ashleigh Wicheard, who share their stories to inspire a new generation.
#AllintheRace #RespectinRacing #Diversity #Inclusion #Sport #Horseracing
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re calling for Respect in Racing.
Hear from our wonderful colleagues across the industry, as they tackle harmful assumptions and show the importance of standing up for equality in the sport.
#AllintheRace #RespectinRacing #horseracing #diversity
“It’s not really enough to just be silent”
This #BlackHistoryMonth we want to be part of the change, by providing new opportunities to people from all backgrounds and speaking up against racism.
#RespectinRacing #AllintheRace #horseracing #inclusion #diversity #sport
It’s better when we’re All in the Race 💪
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re reflecting on our progress and celebrating the steps we’re taking for a more inclusive and diverse sport. Still progress to be made-we must work together. 🙌🏽

Born to Rum or Born to Run? If you like a taste of the 'Pirate's drink'
don't miss this tasting event. You'll be supporting @Disophine who is tackling six marathons (yes six) - in memory of her father. Oh and she is running them in the heat of the Sahara. rb.gy/b7qaed
Did someone say ‘RUN’ or ‘RUM’?! 🏃♀️🍹😂 the wonderful Victor Victoria cafe in #newmarket are holding a @PlantationRums #rum tasting on the 24th March, with all proceeds going to @ArthurRankHouse - booking essential. So thankful for their support; such an amazing team! #lovelocal

My #marathon yesterday was a slog! I’m at the top of a training peak & every inch of #support is making a difference to my morale. Shout out to all those who are keeping me going (un/tagged). #JSNewmarket @JSNewmarket @NewmarketHC #charity #teamarthur
