Within the fixtures announced for the 2025/26 season there is an earlier start than normal to the new East Anglian season. The Puckeridge and Essex will be holding their fixture at Horseheath on SATURDAY NOVEMBER 29th.

In order to encourage owners and trainers to support this particular meeting, the following has been circulated via social media and more specifically to connections of horses who have either had runners at Horseheath previously, or are based at a reasonable travelling distance from the course.

We are aware that it is important for owners and trainers to plan ahead and start their season preparation in good time for their first competitive outing, so we wanted to let you know about the new date for this fixture, the first meeting of the East Anglian area season, in order to give you time to get horses back in training.
