Would you like to experience the thrill of ownership at a fraction of the cost?

We have spent the last five years building up one of the finest racing facilities in the region, located in a spectacularly beautiful Devon valley, just ten minutes from the historic market town of Tiverton.
We are always happy to welcome new individual owners to Thorne Farm, but we are also keen to encourage as many people as possible to experience the thrill of participating in the sport from an owner’s perspective. The Nigel Hawke Racing Club has been created specifically for this purpose. The objective is to allow club members to share in the racing experience at a fraction of the cost of outright ownership. Club membership is available for just £50.00 per month or a discounted rate of £575.00 if you pay for the whole year.
Uniquely to the Nigel Hawke Racing Club, members will also see some of our young horses make their racecourse debuts in the Club colours – who knows which stars of the future will start off here?
We have experienced notable success in purchasing top quality horses at reasonable prices – Deauville Crystal, Johanos, Pearl Royale, Nachi Falls, Lord Ballim & Tiger Roll to name just a few.
