Small pony, big achievements! 🏇

Meet Duble, the little racing star proudly sponsored by the Museum.
Standing at just 38 inches, he’s one of the smallest ponies on the Shetland Pony Grand National circuit, with wins at the London International Horse Show, Badminton, Burghley, Royal Windsor and more!

This season, young jockeys Harlow Wiek and Pixy Hopkins have added even more wins to his remarkable story.

We’re looking forward to welcoming Duble to the Museum soon. Keep an eye on our pages for your chance to meet him! 🐴

We had the most amazing time with African-Caribbean Unity Council for Advancement and Tales by Aunty Femi, families enjoyed craft workshops, djembe drumming and storytelling sessions throughout today’s celebration. Huge thanks to all who came, it was great to see so many of you. Also a special thank you to Fairstead House School & Nursery for lending their djembe drums.
