I recently stumbled across the Racing Academy and their Apprentice Jockey Course. I am sure this would be a great resource for people wanting to get into race riding of thoroughbreds in Australia. If you plan to be a jockey, you need to go through an apprenticeship.
I believe this often requires finding a trainer who will take you on and offer you horses to ride. In this way you’re improving your riding skills whilst gaining experience. And most importantly, you have someone providing you with the opportunity to ride in race events.
If you plan to be a jockey in Australia, then you have to undertake a course to gain a qualification. And of course contacts would help, too! I have no doubt that this is the case in other countries, too. If you love horse riding and want to look into riding timed work as a career option, I encourage you to check out what’s involved in becoming an apprentice jockey.

This is due to the multitude of horses that race across the country.

“I understood then, with absolute certainty, that the ability of the horse to sense emotion, energy and spirit is beyond what most of the human world realises. This is why their impact on us can be so instant, so consistently positive, so transformational.” ― Pam Billinge
