The British Racing School introduced a Riding Work and Horse Assessment Course in 2007 to help improve the standard of riding in the workplace. The course is intended to provide individuals with guidance and advice on how to develop their work riding and horse assessment skills.

Are you a Trainer that wants this Training in Your Own Yard?

We are able to provide work riding training within your yard subject to access and facilities. Richard Perham, our resident Jockey Coach, can provide bespoke training, video assesment and riding instruction on your horses, using your gallops.

James Given's yard undertook this training and is a firm believer in training his staff "It's a self fulfilling prophecy, I've always felt that if you took your best member of staff and cloned them, your horses would be prepated bette and you would therefore ytain more winners, attract more owners and be able to earn more through training fees. Thats the reason why Sir Michael Stoute employs some of the best riders in Newmarket. However if you can't get involved in 'buying' you have to do something else, you have to train your staff" James was delighted with the training carried out by Richard Perham in his yard and would recommend it to other trainers who are not in a position to release staff to attend the training at the BRS in Newmarket.
