As some of you may know, I have been completing a Level 3 Animal management course for the last 2 years and recently I have had the chance to go to the Newmarket Racecourse, the July course specifically and go to the British Race School.
Firstly, HOW AMAZING! We started off at the British Race School where we were shown around and saw some of the horses along with their riders practicing on the runways. It was a amazing experience to see them practicing but then we were able to go to the yard and see all of the retired racehorses in their boxes and we had the chance to interact with them. There was this one Irish one which was just so so gorgeous! The yard was massive and so good for the horses. If you were a race horse and you were to have the chance to go here you would hit the JACKPOT! After this we went to the room in which the riders could get on electronic horses and practice and for their general fitness as this is extremely important.
After this we went to the July course, for Gentlemens day, there was such a amazing atmosphere at the course where everyone was so excited to see all of the horses and see them race. I have never bet in my life so I was so confused about it all! But I bet twice and lost twice so I think it showed! We were able to go to the weighing room where we saw some of the riders being weighed and we also spoke to some of the judges and the riders about the different things to do with going into the horse racing profession. After seeing the horses race, it was overall such a amazing experience and I will definitely been attending next year!
Overall, horse racing isn't everyone`s cup of tea I know, but I would definitely recommend going! It will be a day to dress to impress!
Also, if you fancy a profession within horse racing, look at;
-Careers in racing- on facebook and online, showing when chances come up
-British Race School- They always have jobs and courses going!
