About the PRA

Pony Racing is an excellent grounding in riding techniques and race day procedures. It encourages children who may never have even dreamt about shortening their stirrup leathers to turn their thoughts to race-riding, be it under the Rules of Racing or on the ever-popular Point-to-Point circuit. Perhaps as important as anything, it fuels the addiction and passion for racing, which is so integral to the future success of the sport.

Essentially, the Pony Racing Authority reaches out beyond racing’s normal parish to attract potential jockeys from less likely audiences. For a sport that has been formally in existence for only just over a decade, Pony Racing has been remarkably successful in achieving what it set out to do and continues to develop and grow.
