FOR those within the wider racing public who do not know what Equuip is, Equuip is the education and training department of Horse Racing Ireland. Equuip provides information to those entering the industry, as well as education and training for those who are trying to progress within the sector.

It incorporates HRI’s people welfare department, which encompasses health and wellbeing services for those who require them, according to Stacey McDonnell. For anyone working within the industry, it is strongly advised to liaise with McDonnell if you are struggling in any way.
