The Future of Racing Scholarship is designed to support the people behind the horses — the stable staff who are at the heart of the racing industry.
Through a combination of funded training, flexible online learning, and practical, industry-focused education, this programme gives you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to progress your career while improving horse welfare standards.
Stable staff play a vital role in the success, welfare, and performance of every racehorse.
This scholarship provides a structured pathway for those working in racing to develop professionally — combining hands-on training, specialist courses, and real-world learning that can be applied immediately in the yard.
Whether you’re looking to build confidence, expand your knowledge, or take the next step in your career, this programme is designed to support you.
At Equi-Ed, we are committed to raising standards within the racing industry through education.
By investing in stable staff, we are helping to build a more skilled, knowledgeable, and welfare-focused workforce — supporting both the long-term success of the sport and the horses at its centre.
Scholarships cover the cost of Level 3 equine first aid training certification and a highly discounted rate for professional courses, equipping recipients with vital skills to manage equine health and welfare effectively.
Scholarship holders join a growing network of equine professionals, opening doors to mentorship, collaboration, and career connections.
With better-trained staff, the quality of equine care improves, enhancing the overall welfare of racing horses.
Raising the education standard among racing staff elevates the sport's reputation and public perception, contributing to its long-term sustainability.
Supporting staff through education fosters loyalty and reduces turnover, creating a more stable and experienced workforce.
The Equied Future of Racing Scholarship is more than financial aid; it is a transformative opportunity to shape the next generation of horse racing professionals. Through this initiative, Equied is not only championing the personal growth of individuals but also driving meaningful progress in the industry, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for the sport we love. This program would not be possible without support from key individuals.
