About Horse Racing in Australia
Horse racing is a cornerstone of Australian sporting culture, from the iconic Melbourne Cup to hundreds of regional race meetings held throughout the year. For participants — jockeys, trainers, owners, and riders — it combines athletic skill with deep knowledge of horsemanship.
Getting Started
Pony clubs and equestrian centres across Australia provide beginner riding lessons and pathways into competitive equestrian sport. Racing participants seeking to enter the industry as jockeys, stablehands, or trainers can access apprenticeship programs through Racing Australia.
