During the Introduction to Racing week you will:
Learn how to care for a racehorse day-to-day including mucking out, feeding and grooming
Understand the important role fitness plays for those who work in racing and participate in Jockey focused fitness sessions
Experience the training riders of racehorses are put through on mechanical racehorse simulators, with the opportunity to transfer that to a horse later in the week
Learn what happens on race day with a visit to a Race meeting
The course will last for five days and four nights consecutively – you will stay in our hostel accommodation on site with access to a communal room to socialise
No experience with horses is necessary to attend, you will develop new skills over the duration of the week
There will be organised group activities taking place in the evenings including quizzes and hostel job responsibilities
