Horse Racing
Horse racing has been a big part of Langholm Common Riding for many years now.
Flapping (horse racing which is not run under Jockey Club rules) is very popular in the Scottish Borders, and has been for many years, which allows the owners to train their own horses without a licence.
Racing goes on during the summer months with the Common Riding days at Langholm, Hawick and Selkirk all having increased prize money for their respective big races.
Race meetings now try to have things for all the family to make it a real day out for all ages.
