ArkEquine Partners with Naas

Naas Racecourse announced a partnership with ARKequine, a feed and supplements business that will subsidise the Groom's Canteen and will also support both national hunt and flat racing at the oval in 2022. ARKequine is slated to subsidise the Grooms Canteen during 18 of 20 race meetings during the upcoming season. Racing resumes at Naas with its upcoming Jump Fixture, scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 30.

“It is important to acknowledge all those involved in getting a horse to the track and, whilst we appreciate products like ours play a key role, it is the stable staff who look after these animals who truly make the difference,” said Kirsty McCann, ARKequine Nutritional Manager UK and Ireland.
