Being near Newmarket, the headquarters of horse racing in England, there are many equine connections including several Stud Farms and the National Equine Hospital.

A spring at Exning was named St Wendreda's Well, and a local legend had it that the seventh century Saint Wendreda used its water for healing. Newmarket jockeys used to take horses there to drink before a race. Local lore reputes Exning to have been the capital of the Iceni tribe and therefore home of Queen Boadicea (Boudicca) who defeated the Romans. She appears on the village sign.
