The Rider Development Pathway, delivered by the British Racing School, is a strategic initiative created to offer a clear, inclusive, and progressive journey for everyone involved in riding— from newcomers entering the sport to highly skilled riders, jockeys, and experienced rider coaches.

This pathway ensures that every stage of development aligns with industry needs and modern professional standards. By nurturing both existing and emerging talent, it strengthens the overall quality and long‑term riding ability for all riders within British horseracing.

The Rider Development Pathway supports the creation of skilled, knowledgeable riders who can contribute confidently to Britain’s world‑class racing and training operations. It also helps manage rider aspirations and ensures clear expectations at every stage of progression.

Ultimately, this initiative positions Britain as a global leader in rider development—supporting employers, elevating standards, and securing the future success of the sport and its riders.
