CHRISTIAN
WILLIAMS
In November 1982 Christian was born into a family where involvement with horses was a way of life, and it wasn’t long before he rode his first winner between the flags as a young man. Ever since then Christian Williams has dedicated his life to racing.
Christian’s riding career was very successful. He rode more than 100 winners for both multiple champion trainer Paul Nicholls and well known Welsh handler Evan Williams. Christian enjoyed Grade One success on Noland, holds a perfect 3-3 on Gold Cup winner Denman and was also a gallant runner-up on Royal Auclair in the 2005 Grand National.
Riding Career
Having suffered some unlucky and quite serious injuries as a jockey Christian retired from the saddle to make the natural progression to training. He was first employed by leading National Hunt owner Dai Walters spending five years as a private trainer. But then it was time to make his dream move back to Ogmore Farm to embark on his own training career and thereby launching Christian Williams Racing.
Christian has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience both in high-level race riding but also working for a large selection of the most successful trainers in the sport. He adopts a hands on approach and affords every horse in his close nit yard the ultimate personal attention.
As a Trainer
Christian admits nothing would be possible without the support around him, alongside his wife Charlotte and daughters Tilly & Betsy, he is backed up by a wonderful team of enthusiastic, talented and dedicated individuals. They are a relatively young team, and Christian gets a lot of pleasure out of watching them grow and develop, and is very passionate about supporting them.
