The George Mernagh Memorial Fund (GMMF) have announced a new subsidy and bursary programme to encourage qualified riders (amateur jockeys) into racing. The programme is open to riders both in the industry and beyond with the appropriate experience to become a qualified rider and enjoy the many benefits that go with it.
All aspiring jockeys who take out their qualified riders license will qualify for the GMMF subsidy, which will include €200 towards the licensing cost and a sponsored racing kit bag.
In addition, there will be a number of one-off bursaries, available to newly licensed qualified riders which will include, covering the cost of the licence along with a helmet and back protector. Equuip, Horse Racing Ireland’s education, training, and people welfare division, will manage the bursary programme and the application process.
