Jesse: Dreams of becoming a Jockey

In August 2021 Jesse was part of the group that came on the first ever Riding A Dream Academy course. He first learned to ride at Ebony Horse Club in Brixton, the same club as Khadijah Mellah, one of our founders.
He is now the third Riding A Dream Academy student to graduate from the Foundation Course at the British Racing School and we can't believe how much he has improved - from riding one of the ponies on the Residential Course to now looking a million dollars on the straights on a racehorse - we are so proud of you Jesse! He will now be heading into work in British horseracing and chasing his dream of being a jockey.
If Jesse's story has inspired you and you'd like to be part of the Riding A Dream Academy, head to the website to apply for our Residential course taking place Monday 29th May - Friday 2nd June. It's free to attend and open to young people aged 14-18 from diverse communities and disadvantaged backgrounds.
