Howden at Ascot Racecourse

Official Partner since 2021

Our partnership with Ascot Racecourse launched at Royal Ascot in 2021, spurred on by a world-class Equine team and our founder David Howden’s love of horses. 

We're proud to be the Official Insurance Partner of Ascot Racecourse, and in 2025 we extended our partnership with the world-renowned racecourse for a further five years until 2030.

We've been pivotal in supporting Ascot’s prestigious events, including Royal Ascot, by providing specialist equine insurance solutions and engaging with stakeholders across the sport.

Why Howden?

Like Ascot, we have a proud British heritage and an international reach. Horse racing is a sport we love, and an industry with which we have strong ties. Our relationship with Ascot offers our EquineBloodstock, and Sport & Entertainment teams even more direct connections with the sporting industry.

We’re also involved with equestrian communities across the board, from partnering with the Pony Club and British Carriage Driving to sponsoring major meetings in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Australia.
