Career paths

With such a large industry the opportunities are endless.  There are many routes, and in many respects there is something for everyone - whether you want to work directly with horses - or be more office based - there are opportunities at every level.

Careers progression is possible with training courses available to stud and stable staff to take them on from one level to the next – or move into a different area of employment.  For those wishing to progress to management roles or to work within racing adminstration there are also courses available.

Many young people will start off working in a yard with horses and if they have riding talent may progress to be a Jockey.  Similarly they may work their way up to more senior positions within the yard and work towards being an Assistant Trainer or Trainer
