New riding skills course at RACE

FOLLOWING the success of the HRI Equuip and RACE ‘Junior Academy’ days, RACE will host an ‘Adult Academy’ week from Monday to Friday, August 25th to 29th. The week-long course is open to anyone over the age of 17 years with previous experience with horses.

As the course is riding-focused, a good level of previous riding experience and fitness is required. The course is suitable for anyone currently working in the horse racing industry who would like to develop their current riding skills, and is also open to competent riders who would like to learn to ride racehorses.

Places are limited, so early application is advisable. Applications are available on the RACE social channels. Further information is available by calling 045 522 468 or by emailing office@racingacademy.ie
