Lucy’s BHS charity Flat Race - Newbury 2025

Lucy James is raising money for The British Horse Society

BHS Charity Flat Race 2025 · 6 November 2025

A mile on the flat race at the prestigious Newbury and Wetherby race courses, to raise money so every horse is protected, respected and enjoyed by knowledgeable and caring people. The British Horse Society: For horses. For people. For life.

Story

After retiring from Race Riding back in 2012 I am super excited to be dusting off my boots for one last spin on the track at Newbury Racecourse on November 6th 2025 for an incredible cause, BHS.

The world of horses is changing. Riding schools are declining. Roads are increasingly dangerous to ride on and our off-road routes need protecting. Our industry is under growing scrutiny. But together with The British Horse Society, we can ensure horses remain relevant in today's world.

Through our collective voice, there will be a greater influence in national policy-making, safeguarding a horses place in society, and keeping our riding schools open.

By donating, you'll help over 6000 horses receive welfare care and offer owners advice to prevent future welfare concerns. You'll influence highway and Police authorities take action at accident & near-miss hotspots.

You'll feel how much pride we take when young people like Charlie's self-esteem builds as they learn key life skills through the Changing Lives through Horses programme. "School was a never ending thunderstorm. But everything is calm when I'm with the horses."

Donate today and be part of our collective voice.
