The Riding A Dream Academy
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.

Our programmes
A year long Scholarship programme for aspiring riders aged 14-16 from ethnically diverse communities and disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Residential Weeks are a fun introduction to horse racing, riding and horse care and cater for both those with some experience of riding and those with minimal experience.
Schools and youth charities are invited to bring up to 10 young people aged 14-16 to the British Racing School where they will ride for the first time, try out their jockey pose on an equiciser and learn about the different courses and careers in the sport.
