Welfare, support and useful websites
The racing industry has a strong support network and takes its
responsibility for those that work within it very seriously. It is the
British Horseracing Authority’s role as the governing body to ensure
the continued health and successful development of the sport and its
people. It works with many associations and organisations to provide
a good support network for everyone working in racing, especially
young people. Compared to many other jobs, working hands-on with
horses, racing has a defined and well-structured benefits package.
