Are you looking for your next step?

We’ve got two fantastic options to lead you to an amazing career in - the SECOND most popular spectator sport after football!

1) the Foundation Course: a residential Level 1 Diploma leading on to…
2) the Level 2 Equine Groom (Racing) Apprenticeship

And if you’re working in racing already and you’re eligible, you can sign straight up for your Level 2 wherever you are currently working!

🏇How do you find your horses?

This is a question we are often asked when we have visitors to the school, so here's the answer!

DID YOU KNOW 👉 There's now an option to study for a Level 2 Apprenticeship without a residential stay at BRS!

If you're already working with racehorses, but would like to gain more qualifications without missing work, this course is for you.

Here's Mia to tell us what it's like.

As part of we wanted to share the story of some of our wonderful horses.

Ego de Mottes is a great favourite with anyone who meets him, and owner Kerry Wilmott credits the love and care from trainer John Ibbott and groom Tilly, for much of Ego’s recovery from injury.

Here’s Kerry to tell us what happened, and how he came to be teaching young students at BRS.

It's and we want to celebrate our WONDERFUL team of equine residents here at BRS.

Everyone has their favourite, so here's just a handful of our most loved horses and why we love them so much!🥰

It's here!

is upon us and we'll be sharing some stories about the special horses we have at the BRS.

Our team of horses is the most important asset we have. Their patience, kindness and quirkiness (!) is key to being able to train our students effectively.

We can't wait to share some of our favourites with you!

Long term life plans ❓

What have all these people got in common? They all started their career with BRS!

In racing, there is an enormous catalogue of jobs, from stud work, to coaching, to admin roles such as racing secretaries, from jockeys and trainers to vets - and that's not to mention the groundstaff, accountants, event managers and clerks of the course. Whilst being a groom is perfect for some people, as they progress through their career, others may want to try something new.

Wherever you may end up in 10 or 20 years time, a course at BRS is your gateway into a dream career - and what a place to start!✨

Not sure if BRS is for you?

Here’s a throwback to catching up with Lizzie after a month of course 396, giving her opinion of what it’s like to join a Foundation Course.

Lizzie and her course mates graduated last week, and we can’t wait to follow their progress as they move to the workplace!

Not sure if life at BRS is for you?

Take a listen to Lizzie when we chatted to her back in April, talking about how she found starting her course, and the tips she has for new students.

She’s recently graduated and we can’t wait to follow her next career step - we know she is going to be great!
