The Riding A Dream Academy

At the Riding A Dream Academy we’re passionate about supporting young people from diverse communities, underprivileged backgrounds and urban equestrian centres get involved in British horse racing. As part of the British Racing School, a centre of racing excellence in Newmarket, we run a range of riding-based programmes for riders aged 13-16, funded by The Racing Foundation.

“I am so excited about The Riding A Dream Academy.
Horse racing changed my life forever and I hope that by getting involved in the Academy, it will help other young people's dreams come true too."
