The Leicester Racecourse

On the way to a cafe in the Oadby, I found that the horse race was held.  The Leicester Racecourse located near the Knighton park, and takes about 20 min on foot from my residence ( http://www.leicester-racecourse.co.uk/ ).   Although I had only one time to go to a race course and betting tickets in Japan, it looks interesting, so I strayed from the route.  The entrance fee for students was 14 pounds.  (The student discount may be a little funny..)   Evidently, I had gotten into the membership pavilion without knowing...so I could see the horse well.   Though I tried to reenter the seat without a membership badge,  I was stopped entering by right, and found it.  Of course, I apologized it, and understood why gallery including juniors and kids was likely to behave with a good manner.   I could also watch the paddock, and the racehorses were so beautiful, in particular the hinder legs and  crests were well looked after.

There was the Phoenix Children Foundation, which was established as registered UK charity in 2006 to raise money to provide disabled and several ill children, and the foundation had several ponies.  They say that the ponies are a fantastic asset and greatly enhance any venue they attend. Disabled and able bodied people alike seem to relate to the magical atmosphere they create ( http://www.kaptureit.co.uk/phoenix/ ) .

Thank you for your reading to the end.
