Introducing young people to racing this Half Term

Education charity Racing to School will be hosting 190 young people across four groups at Doncaster, Exeter, Lingfield and Sedgefield next week, as well as taking in a visit to the Royal Agricultural University. The Riders’ Programme focusses on young people that already have an interest in horses and equestrian sport, by giving them an opportunity to experience racing and its training and career paths – this is very often their first taste of the sport. The Careers in Racing team support these events by providing links to future careers days and information for those interested in learning more about the many opportunities available.
