On Sunday 7th September 2008, Matt Sheppard Racing held yet another very successful
open day to give everyone a behind the scenes peek at what he does. This was
also an opportunity for over 100 invited guests including owners and prospective
owners to meet the staff and the resident horses in training. The weather
wasn't brilliant but at least it did not rain and everyone, humans and horses alike enjoyed the day.
