OUR TRAINER - JOHN WEYMES

High Moor Racing has had horses trained by John since its syndicates were launched in 2006.

John Weymes is a highly talented young trainer, and he and his Assistant, Kirsty Buckle, are a formidable team.

Their expertise is in training horses as ‘individuals’, they ‘care' about the horses, and each has its own training regime tailored to its needs, thereby maximising its potential.

 Ashgill Stables, Middleham, has provided a base for the Weymes family to successfully train racehorses for over 40 years.

John's apprenticeship to train racehorses started at an early age under the watchful eye of his father Ernie.

He went onto ride as an amateur jockey and won races under both codes, before taking up spells of employment with trainers Tom Tate and Mark Tompkins, adding to the experiences gained from working for the late Gordon Richards at Greystoke in Cumbria.                                                                         www.johnweymesracing.co.uk

On the retirement of his father 12 years ago, John took out his own licence and has been sending out winners every year since. 

HIGH MOOR RACING -  WINNERS

"Our relationship with John & Kirsty has brought us success on the track with a high strike rate of winners and numerous horses placed."

"Which one of our horses will be next will be interesting, as they are all capable of winning and just need that little bit of good fortune. We are sure this will happen soon, but which one will be first is the burning question.  What we do know is that they will all have the opportunity."

"You couldn’t be involved with a friendlier stable where the opportunities to see your horse and view what happens behind the scenes are plentiful."

"As well as excellent training facilities, Ashgill Stables are set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park which provide lots of other good reasons to join our partnerships and visit your horses."
