Kennet Valley Returns to the National Hunt Scene…

Kennet Valley is delighted to be returning to National Hunt racing, with Toby Lawes joining us as our National Hunt trainer.

We’re excited to have recently secured Peace Pebble, a four-year-old gelding who made a very promising debut at Navan in Ireland, finishing a close second in a 1m 6f maiden. With just one racecourse start to his name, he looks an exciting prospect.

While flat racing has always been at the heart of what we do, we’re looking forward to bringing National Hunt racing back into the mix and offering our owners something to enjoy over the winter months.

Toby has made a promising start to his training career, and we’re delighted to be supporting him and his wife Clare in this next chapter following their move to Lambourn.

Peace Pebble will now join Toby and Clare, with plans to prepare him for a hurdling debut this winter. We’re excited about what lies ahead and hope he can give his owners plenty of fun over the coming seasons.

Further details about Peace Pebble, including his profile and ownership opportunities, can be found on his horse page.
